Destroys a session. Called internally by PHP with `session_regenerate_id` (assuming the `destroy` is set to ENTITY, by `session_destroy` or when `session_decode` fails.

This method wraps the internal PHP save handler defined in the [session.save_handler](#ini.session.save-handler) ini setting that was set before this handler was set by `session_set_save_handler`.

If this class is extended by inheritance, calling the parent `destroy` method will invoke the wrapper for this method and therefore invoke the associated internal callback. This allows this method to be overridden and or intercepted and filtered.

For more information on what this method is expected to do, please refer to the documentation at `SessionHandlerInterface::destroy`.
