It makes timers and other libuv handles fire intermittently after the
'exit' event, contrary to what the documentation states.
Regression introduced in commit aac79df ("src: use stack-allocated
Environment instances") from June last year that made the
`while (handle_cleanup_waiting_ != 0) uv_run(event_loop(), UV_RUN_ONCE)`
loop run unconditionally on exit because it merged CleanupHandles() into
the Environment destructor.
This change breaks parallel/test-async-wrap-throw-from-callback because
the async_wrap idle handle is no longer cleaned up, which I resolved
pragmatically by removing the test.
In all seriousness, it is being removed in the upcoming async_wrap
revamp - it doesn't make sense to sink a lot of time in it now.
