client API: add API function that ensures total destruction

mpv_destroy() should perhaps better be called mpv_detach(), because it
destroys only the handle, not necessarily the player. The player is only
terminated if a quit command is sent.

This function quits automatically, and additionally waits until the
player is completely destroyed. It removes the possibility that the
player core is still uninitializing, while all client handles are
already destroyed. (Although in practice, the difference is usually not
important.)
