[confmap] Set confmap.unifyEnvVarExpansion feature gate to stable (#1…

…0508)

#### Description

This PR promotes the `confmap.unifyEnvVarExpansion` feature gate to
stable and sets a `ToVersion` of `v0.106.0`, anticipating that the gate
be completely removed in that version.

We should weigh if switching the Stable should be done in `v0.105.0` or
if it needs more time in `Beta` to give users more time to switch.
Delaying promotion to `Stable` delays confmap 1.0.

If we merge this we need to commit to merging
#10510 in
the same release.
