Declined Enable SourceTV for normal TF2 servers

Side suggestion: stv allows server side demo recordings as well which may be useful for in game admins in case other evidence isn't available.

Thought it was because sending a kill input to info_observer_point entities can crash server that have SourceTV.

As explained it has a memory leak. The extra systems such as sourcetv and replay are buggy and prone to lag and crashes.
