Commit: getSubmissionPDF:: remove WKPFD fallback

The intention was removing WKPDF (old version) from being an unintended fallback mechanism of the new version

Why: Users may have customizations on documents made on the current PDF Editor. When the system turns to old version, it prepares and sends the default document according to the form. Without any customization with all the data.

We don't want this.

Hotfix: The commit is reverted.

Emails started to have their attachments
Download links started to download produced PDFs

We'll restrict the WKPDF usage only for the old Users' operations. – No more fallback responsibility
Also will migrate the old users and retire the old PDF Editor gracefully

Proper fix:

WKPDF Issue Q&A

PDF Documents Went Blank

Root cause was the DB Failure

Also duplicate record errors on RDS because of the composite PK

Code was also prone to errors
