    Description

      ActiveStream and ActiveStreamCheckpointProcessorTask both hold a ref-counted pointer to each other.

      As a result of this there is a memory leak when a DCPProducer is deleted, as ActiveStream and ActiveStreamCheckpointProcessorTask mutually hold the ref-count of the other up.

      This code was triggered by one of the fixes for MB-16632 - specifically http://review.couchbase.org/#/c/57148/.

      For each created (and deleted) DCPProducer, we appear to leak ~4KB of memory (measured via stream_test). I haven't confirmed this in full-stack tests.
