* `error` {Error}
* `error` {Error} Optional, an error to emit with `'error'` event.
* Returns: {this}

Destroy the stream, and emit the passed `'error'` and a `'close'` event.
Destroy the stream. Optionally emit an `'error'` event, and always emit
a `'close'` event.
After this call, the writable stream has ended and subsequent calls
to `write()` or `end()` will result in an `ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED` error.
This is a destructive and immediate way to destroy a stream. Previous calls to
`write()` may not have drained, and may trigger an `ERR_STREAM_DESTROYED` error.
Use `end()` instead of destroy if data should flush before close, or wait for
the `'drain'` event before destroying the stream.
Implementors should not override this method,
but instead implement [`writable._destroy()`][writable-_destroy].
