Add option -alerts to opt out of alert system

Make it possible to opt-out of the centralized alert system by providing
an option `-noalerts` or `-alerts=0`. The default remains unchanged.

This is a gentler form of #6260, in which I went a bit overboard by
removing the alert system completely.

I intend to add this to the GUI options in another pull after this.
