[c-nsp] SVD disabled by default on XR4.3.x

[Stephen Fulton]

Adam,

The answer is quite straight-forward - SVD burned people who had a large 
number of prefixes in VRF across multiple LC's, and it was not 
documented well.

Disabling by default with easy-to-find documentation about SVD and how 
to enable it is a far better option, IMO, and the path chosen in 4.3.x+
