Do we currently close a datachannel if it's garbage collected (that is,
if the app loses all references to it)?
Or do we let it sit idle until the PC is garbage collected?

(section 5.4 of the spec seems to allow us to garbage collect it if
there are no handlers registered, but doesn't explicitly say that it
closes when garbage collected).

If we introduce a getter, people have a reasonable expectation that the
channel should stick around until closed, even if they have not bothered
to add event handlers to it yet.
