[LU-17691] add interface to deregister file system/targets on MGS

Description

When one starts a target with the writeconf option, it registers with the MGS, resulting in the creation of config llog files.

In the case of an MGS which is separate from MDT0, and shared among multiple file systems, those config logs will accumulate.

As far as I can tell, there is no mechanism for removing the relevant config llog files when a file system, and all its targets, are destroyed.

First question, am I correct that there is no such mechanism now?
