chore(tvix/eval): delete "useless parenthesis" warning/optimisation r/5747

Two main reasons:

1. Traversing the structure to do this optimisation is
   actually *slower* than not optimising it.

2. There are literally hundreds of thousands of incidences of this in
   nixpkgs, and with some of the weird code there some of
   these (functionally) useless parens are actually required for
   readability reasons.
