Avoid possible exception when leaving/reconnecting in a MUC

- Unregister nickname before sending unavailable presence
- Send unavailable presence before destroying state
- Call `leave` after unregistering, otherwise the disco entry for the MUC gets removed in `leave` while it's still necessary to unregister
- Wrap `this.leave` in  try/except in `onConnectionStatusChanged` handler
- Add new MUC connection status, `CLOSING` to avoid `this.leave()` being called when `hidden` gets set to `true` while the MUC is in the process of being closed.
