[FLINK-2134] Close Netty channel via CloseRequest msg The failing `SuccessAfterNetworkBuffersFailureITCase` discovered a race between sending backwards events (e.g. from sync task to iteration head task) and closing the TCP channel. The close overtook outstanding backwards task events. This change guarnatees that it is in order by sending a explicit close msg. (I've also tried other approaches, but this struck me as the simplest solution.)
