`stream.pipeline()` will call `stream.destroy(err)` on all streams except:
* `Readable` streams which have emitted `'end'` or `'close'`.
* `Writable` streams which have emitted `'finish'` or `'close'`.
`stream.pipeline()` leaves dangling event listeners on the streams
after the `callback` has been invoked. In the case of reuse of streams after
failure, this can cause event listener leaks and swallowed errors.
