akerr_name_for_status(status, name) cannot identify its caller, so it can
only check that some reservation covers the status, not that the caller owns it.

It exists for migration. Once consumers have moved to
akerr_register_status_name(), make the set path a no-op or remove it and leave
akerr_name_for_status() as pure lookup.

Worth checking the consumers before scheduling this: libakgl, libakstdlib and
akbasic are the stack that would have to have moved.
