Implement deactivate actor method

See original GitHub issue

The actor API allows it to deactivate an actor. The testing code also has implemented an API call to deactivate an actor. It would be great if the SDK could provide a method in the ActorProxy class which allows it to deactivate an actor without implementing an API call by itself.

It’s all about freeing up resources. We have thousand of actors which run in parallel. We know exactly the lifetime of these actors. So with killing them we can free resources.

@yaron2 - what @halspang is saying this is exactly the conclusion that I came to.

There is no contract provided by the runtime for a client to deactivate an actor. If this is a desirable thing it should be part of the surface area for the client.
