What this PR does
The event-based rule groups re-sync introduced in #4975 is expected to benefit Mimir clusters with a large number of tenants, not updating rule groups frequently. However, there are some cases where a single-tenant Mimir cluster may get rule groups re-uploaded very frequently and so the event-based re-sync may actually increase the cost instead of decreasing it.
In this PR I'm simply introducing an answer to disable it, while keeping it enabled by default. To do it, I've took the simplest path: do not put the request to the outbound queue when the event-based sync is disabled. The queue and queue processor are started anyway, but they're not expected to make any dent in terms of resources utilization given they're not going to be used.
Which issue(s) this PR fixes or relates to
Part of #4941.
