Fix: service LocallyRegisteredAsSidecar property is not persisted

When a service is deregistered, we check whever matching services were
registered as sidecar along with it and deregister them as well.
To determine if a service is indeed a sidecar we check the
structs.ServiceNode.LocallyRegisteredAsSidecar property. However, to
avoid interal API leakage, it is excluded from JSON serialization,
meaning it is not persisted to disk either.
When the agent is restarted, this property lost and sidecars are no
longer deregistered along with their parent service.
To fix this, we now specifically save this property in the persisted
service file.
