With the addition of the MUST_SIGNAL phase, signalling during LOCKED_IN is no longer needed for activation coordination, so drop it.

At present, the only time anyone has to potentially immediately update their consensus rules is if the last block in a STARTED period pushes signalling over the threshold, at which point the next block has to immediately signal or is invalid. There's grace periods for everything else -- enforcing the rules has the 2016 blocks of LOCKED_IN between knowing it's coming and it actually happening; and the first block of MUST_SIGNAL (hopefully) has a few months of grace between everyone deciding to set lockinontimeout=true and timeoutheight actually arriving.

ACK this seems to be a remnant from before MUST_SIGNAL and there's no reason to not have a grace period

ACK. LOCKED_IN is an end state on the happy path. Once we reach this state there are no requirements in terms of signaling. Continued signaling is a nice to have but has no impact on the path taken or the end result.
