REF: remove libreduction.apply_frame_axis0

[jbrockmendel]

• closes BUG: groupby fast_apply vs python apply handles same-indexed result differently #40446
• tests added / passed
• Ensure all linting tests pass, see here for how to run them
• whatsnew entry

Discussed on call today. Just started an asv run.

wow, can you also add a whatsnew note on the change (i guess perf section)

Updated with a larger sample size, looks more reasonable

great thanks!
