MM-68838: Ping a restored plugin remote immediately on re-register (#36592)
* MM-68838: ping restored plugin remote immediately on re-register

  RegisterPluginForSharedChannels' restore branch updated the row but did
  not call PingNow, leaving the restored remote offline until the next
  pingLoop tick (up to PingFreq, default 1 minute). The new-connection
  branch already calls PingNow; the restore branch now mirrors it so
  sync attempts immediately after a plugin restart no longer fail with
  "offline remote cluster".

* MM-68838: gob-encode error returns in apiRPCServer.ReceiveSharedChannelAttachmentSyncMsg

  The apiRPCServer wrapper for ReceiveSharedChannelAttachmentSyncMsg
  assigned the hook's error return directly to the gob-encoded response
  struct. When the framework's App.ReceiveSharedChannelAttachmentSyncMsg
  returned an error wrapped with %w (*fmt.wrapError, an unexported type),
  gob refused to encode it and the RPC server broke the connection with
  "type not registered for interface: fmt.wrapError".

  Every subsequent plugin/server RPC call then returned the zero-value
  response struct, causing plugins that dereferenced the nil returns to
  crash.

  Apply the existing encodableError() helper so the returned error
  becomes a gob-safe ErrorString, matching every other apiRPCServer
  method in this file.
