Remove FID

The Chrome team has officially replaced First Input Delay (FID) with Interaction to Next Paint as the Core Web Vitals metric for assessing interaction responsiveness. As a result, FID is no longer supported in Chrome tools, and we have removed it from CrUX data. Currently, only five metrics remain.
