Enable opting out of TSVI

[penelopeysm]

Performance gains in #1132 are only really significant when not using TSVI.

TSVI gets used more than it should (#1086).

This PR provides a mechanism to globally opt out of TSVI, in a way that is fully backwards-compatible.

Changing this to a global opt-in would just require changing the default to false.

A per-model opt-in would be doable too, albeit requiring more work. I think it's better to start from a global one and only consider a per-model one if people complain.

Performance

Edit: benchmarking this, I just realised that dereferencing USE_THREADSAFE_EVAL gives rise to more overhead than checking Threads.nthreads(). A per-model one should make this work better because if it's stored in the type, it can be removed at compile time. I'll investigate this further.
