api: Avoid the usage of the freed registration by the API calls

This issue happens if:
- the API client connects via Unix socket
- the client issues the *_dump API call and immediately disconnects

What happens after is that the API handler keeps sending the *_details
messages, however at some point the write fails, and the socket is
deleted.

The attempt of a use of the registration pointer results in interpreting
the socket as a shared memory socket. This results in a crash, because
the data in this structure then does not make sense, like the below:

The approach in this change is to avoid the closing operations "here and
now", but instead mark the the registration as a zombie and place
a forced RPC towards a callback that does the actual cleanup work.

Forced RPC is handled via the API processing loop with barrier sync,
so we are guaranteed not to have any API processing in-process.
