  Destroy a stream.
  
  This module is meant to ensure a stream gets destroyed, handling different APIs
  and Node.js bugs.
  
  ## API
  
  ```js
  var destroy = require('destroy')
  ```
  
  ### destroy(stream)
  
  Destroy the given stream. In most cases, this is identical to a simple
  `stream.destroy()` call. The rules are as follows for a given stream:
  
    1. If the `stream` is an instance of `ReadStream`, then call `stream.destroy()`
       and add a listener to the `open` event to call `stream.close()` if it is
       fired. This is for a Node.js bug that will leak a file descriptor if
       `.destroy()` is called before `open`.
    2. If the `stream` is not an instance of `Stream`, then nothing happens.
    3. If the `stream` has a `.destroy()` method, then call it.
  
  The function returns the `stream` passed in as the argument.
  
  ## Example
  
  ```js
  var destroy = require('destroy')
  
  var fs = require('fs')
  var stream = fs.createReadStream('package.json')
  
  // ... and later
  destroy(stream)
  ```
