This function does not only close some database cursors and the like, it
really destroys the object on the server side. The concept of _destroy
is a general concept in our RPC, not limited to appserver.

The automatic _destroy should run (sooner or later) for any kind of
closing the connection, ranging from (AFAICT) "Connection: Close" to
plugging the power cable of the client.
