Even when we disable Jira Analytics, we are sending requests to /jira/rest/analytics/1.0/publish/bulk

Summary:

We are noticing in some cases from the field where the customer will have their Jira Analytics disabled in UI (Administration - > System - > Advanced - > Analytics), but even so, we see Jira firing requests to /rest/analytics/1.0/publish/bulk

Expected behavior

There should be no more /rest/analytics/1.0/publish/bulk when Analytics is Disabled

Workaround

Disable Analytics Client Plugin from Manage add-ons -> System add-ons

Note: Linked this issue with a FR, but since this can severely impact issue update flow causing delays and bandwidth consumption with no reason, we are raising a new bug instead.
