Only turn on Sidekiq throttling if application settings exists

If the database has not been migrated properly, the initializer for Sidekiq
will fail to start and cause the whole Rails server to crash. This change
checks the existence for the column and allows Rails to start even
if the setting has not been added as a database column.

Closes #24452
