This partially reverts 579bdc18f85ea8599c8cf1f53ddb02fd41d97993; it
assumed (based on its documentation) that `on_finish` was called for
all requests, even client-terminated ones. This is not accurate; it
is only called when the request calls `finish`, which only happens for
successful requests. This caused every client-closed connection to
leak a handler (ironically, exactly re-introducing the bug previously
fixed in 12a5a3a6e1).
This behaviour was obscured by the development environment's proxy;
see comment added in the previous commit.
Instead of replacing the `clear_handler_by_id` call into
`ClientDescriptor.disconnect_handler`, we instead place it on
`AsyncDjangoHandler.on_connection_close`. This is more correct for
a few reasons:
- `on_connection_close` will be called if the client goes away during
a request without a client descriptor. If the handler garbage
collection of handlers runs inside the ClientDescriptor, we leak
handlers.
- `disconnect_handler` also runs when successfully sending an event,
which already calls `on_finish`. We avoid double-calling
`clear_handler_by_id` by doing it in two clearly exclusive cases,
`on_finish` and `on_connection_close`.
- It combines the creation and garbage collection logic into one
file, decreasing action at a distance which causes memory leaks.
