Ensures that no more I/O activity happens on this socket.
Destroys the stream and closes the connection.

If `exception` is specified, an [`'error'`][] event will be emitted and any
listeners for that event will receive `exception` as an argument.
See [`writable.destroy()`][] for further details.

### `socket.destroyed`

* {boolean} Indicates if the connection is destroyed or not. Once a
connection is destroyed no further data can be transferred using it.
