fix use-after-free: require new fsm deferred dealloc, check for term

API doc: require osmo_fsm_set_dealloc_ctx().

mgcp_client during delete: do not reparent the FSM when it is already
terminating.

I have recently discovered a vulnerability: if an endpoint FSM deallocates
during event handling of a successful MGCP response, this causes a
use-after-free; and once that is fixed, a state change on the already
terminated FSM causes a pointer corruption by using already cleaned data
structures. osmo_fsm_set_dealloc_ctx() fixes the use-after-free, and
osmo_fsm_set_term_stops_actions() fixes the pointer corruption.
