fix: data race issues with api.Server (#11724)

## Description

Closes: #11692

This PR adds a `sync.Mutex` to `api.Server` in order to prevent data race issues. In practice, these data races are unlikely to occur as you'd typically wait for Start to return. However, this does cause an issue with testing using the `-race` flag when using the `testutil/network` package. Currently races occur by default when running tests on projects generated using `ignite`. We should fix this for the sake of passing race detecting tests.
