Title: Fix #1339 - Add Backbone.View#destroy.

As stated in #1339, `destroy` is a fairly strong convention as this point. Should Backbone reinforce this convention or leave it to the user? If so, I'm of the opinion that it should be left blank so that the user can fill it in. Even the most minimal default implementation would have drawbacks and make assumptions about the structure of the user's code.
