Fix: Ensure on_client_disconnected event always fires in FastAPIWebsocketTransport

This fix addresses an issue where the on_client_disconnected callback
would not fire in approximately 5% of calls when using FastAPIWebsocketTransport.

The problem was caused by a race condition introduced after v0.0.86 when
event handlers were changed to run in parallel. When stop() or cancel()
initiated the disconnect, the _closing flag would be set, preventing
trigger_client_disconnected() from being called in _receive_messages().

Now disconnect() always calls trigger_client_disconnected() when
closing the WebSocket, ensuring the event fires reliably whether the
disconnect is initiated by the transport or the remote client.

Fixes the same issue as commit 019c1a6d from origin/fastapi_disconnect_issue branch.
