Description

Remove the `publicConfigStore` ObservableStore instance and `createPublicConfigStore()` method from MetamaskController. Already marked `TODO:LegacyProvider: Delete`.

## Steps

1. Remove `publicConfigStore` creation (line 1413, 2257-2285)
2. Remove `setupPublicConfig` method (line 7973-7983)
3. Remove the `this.on('update', updatePublicConfigStore)` listener
4. Verify no dapp-facing regression (legacy inpage provider)

## Files

- `app/scripts/metamask-controller.js`

## Risk

Low — already tagged for removal. Verify with E2E tests.

## Dependencies

None

## Context

Part of [State Sync Redesign — Epic 1: Transport optimization].

Research direction

Start in app/scripts/metamask-controller.js and inspect the marked TODO:LegacyProvider sections around publicConfigStore creation, setupPublicConfig, and the update listener. Remove the obsolete instance, method, and listener, then run the relevant E2E tests to verify there is no dapp-facing legacy inpage provider regression.
