Fix undefined behavior: accessing an object after destruction
QDBusConnectionPrivate keeps a pointer to a QDBusConnectionInterface, which in turn holds a reference back to that QDBusConnectionPrivate. During the interface object's destruction, the QDBusAbstractInterface's destructor checks if the interface is still valid. That access is undefined behavior, but has so far been benign in all our uses since the memory had not yet been freed (just destroyed) and the reference count went from 0 to -1. To be on the safe side, we destroy now the QDBusConnectionInterface object while the Private is still valid. It will bring the reference count down from 0 to a negative number, but won't cause any other effects.
