child_process: `null` channel handle on close

`HandleWrap::OnClose` destroys the underlying C++ object and null's the
internal field pointer to it. Therefore there should be no references to
the wrapping JavaScript object.

`null` the process' `_channel` field right after closing it, to ensure
no crashes will happen.
