Remove no longer relevant "ballot bag full" feature from VxScan and change copy on VxMark #5136

With the v4 ballot box, we have ample headroom and should never need a forced ballot bag/box swap. Election officials can still choose to swap if they'd like. This feature was build for the much smaller and jam/zombie-ballot prone VxDucks.

We do want to keep this feature on VxMark and should just update its copy: https://votingworks.slack.com/archives/CEL6D3GAD/p1722360413117549?thread_ts=1722274337.665239&cid=CEL6D3GAD

when discussing this yesterday, I thought it was simplest to just remove this feature entirely rather than deal with the complexity of different bin sizes/ballot lengths/expected paper weights, but we could also keep this feature around and change the sheet constant to a configurable value in the system settings file instead
