api: remove clib_mem_init from vppapiclient contructor

Having the constructor in the vppapiclient library led to
conflicts with applications wanting to allocate their own heap.
Note: Change of behaviour, applications that do not use a CLIB
heap must now call vac_mem_init() before using any functions from
vppapiclient.

Type: fix
