Protect the forced detach from a concurrent Attach.

If Attach() returns after this helper reads Detached but before it calls forced Detach, the new attach awaiter can fail with Channel transitioned to detaching. The helper can also queue DETACH after the new ATTACH.

Review comment at @src/Ably.PubSub.Shared/Realtime/RealtimeChannel.cs around
lines 508 - 509:
Coordinate the state check in the forced-detach helper with Attach() so a
concurrent attach cannot be invalidated after the helper observes Detached. Use
the channel’s existing synchronization and operation-ordering mechanism to make
the check and forced Detach atomic relative to Attach(), ensuring a stale forced
DETACH cannot be queued after the new ATTACH.

Preserve the deferred detach through suspension.

If the connection suspends before the deferred DETACH is sent, the channel becomes Suspended. Reconnection then sends ATTACH instead of DETACH. The channel can reattach and resume delivery without an application request. Preserve the detach intent across suspension.

Review comment at @src/Ably.PubSub.Shared/Realtime/RealtimeChannel.cs around
lines 541 - 543:
Preserve the pending detach intent when the channel transitions from Detached to
Detaching via SetChannelState, including if the connection suspends before the
deferred DETACH is sent. On reconnection, ensure the channel sends DETACH rather
than automatically attaching, and clear the intent only when the detach is
completed or otherwise resolved.
