Support for a destroy method

See original GitHub issue

Expected Behavior

player.destroy() would remove the iframe and everything the script created in Javascript that drains memory.

Actual Behavior

This method doesn’t exist. player.unload() only resets the player to its initial state. The Youtube API supports destroy() as described above.

Use Case

I’m working on a one-pager website for a client where the user can swipe through projects and start videos inside them. When a project is entered the video is getting initialised. When they leave the project the video should get destroyed to free up memory.
