moduleapi: Use multitable add/remove instead of set
multitable:set() does not clear intermediate keys when setting the last one to
nil. This meant that the event_handlers multitable for every module was not
properly cleaning up the object and event name from the table when calling
:unhook_object_event().
This combined badly with e.g. mod_bookmarks, which uses this extensively to
add/remove hooks dynamically for mod_pep services. The multitable kept a
reference to every mod_pep service object ever created, causing a memory leak.
The multitable:remove() function clears intermediate keys when they are empty,
so we've switched to using that now.
