Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

Currently, when a pane with non-leaf sibling is closed, various close event handlers are incorrectly revoked leading to dangling references. These are dereferenced next time another close event occurs (i.e. closing a 2nd pane) and causes Terminal to crash.

Additionally it revokes event handlers on old panes and controls (as occurs when a leaf pane is closed).

Validation Steps Performed

Tested manually. If I understand correctly, an automated test could be written after the framework in #1164 lands.
