Was dealing with 5402805 when I realized this code is no longer possible to call. It seems like this code became dead in the previous roll (#41514).
The patch exposed a `DxdiagDx12VulkanRequested` method on Chromium's `GpuDataManagerImpl`, which we consumed only in our own `GPUInfoManager::NeedsCompleteGpuInfoCollection`. There are no other references to this method, so it and the patch can both be deleted. Yay!

This aligns us with Chromiums flags / capabilities in regards to using SCK for
everything. Currently on 14.4 Electron apps will pop warnings for usage of
deprecated APIs. With this change and a few "enable-features" toggles.
`--enable-features="ScreenCaptureKitMac,ScreenCaptureKitStreamPickerSonoma,ThumbnailCapturerMac:capture_mode/sc_screenshot_manager"`
As Chromium enables these by default Electron will inherit those changes, apps wishing to skip ahead can apply these flags early.
