Enable InfluxDB TSI by default

The TSI is recommended for all users. Some of the key benefits are
a reduction in memory requirements and an increase in the maximum
number of time series. For more information see this link:

+upgrade:
+  - InfluxDB TSI has been enabled by default. It is recommended for all
+    customers by InfluxData. If you do not want to enable it you can set
+    the variable 'influxdb_enable_tsi' to 'False' in 'globals.yml'.
+    Instructions to migrate existing data to the new, disk based format
+    can be found at
+    https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.7/administration/upgrading/
+    If you do not follow the migration proceedure, InfluxDB should continue
+    to work, but this is not recommended.
