Performance: Re-use the jinja environment when rendering templates (this also saves memory).

Feature: Solara now has a production mode (enabled by passing in --production) which will load optimized CSS and JS and disable hot reloading. Our Solara server page contains more information about it. If you used --reload or --dev before you can now use the -a/--auto-restart flat. The --dev and --reload flags are kept for backwards compatibility.
