Don't perform some API self-tests in production mode for performance reasons

The API does a fair number of self tests and locking to assure that the
registered commands are consistent and will work. This does not need
to be done on a production system and adds additional overhead causing
somewhere between a 30 and 50% decrease in performance.

Because makeapi is executed when a build is done ensure that it is
executed in developer mode to ensure that the framework is ok.
