bus: Don't explicitly clear BusConnections.monitors

Each connection that is an active monitor holds a pointer to its own
link in this list, via BusConnectionData.link_in_monitors. We can't
validly free the list while these pointers exist: that would be a
use-after-free, when each connection gets disconnected and tries to
remove itself from the list.

Instead, let each connection remove itself from the list, then assert
that the list has become empty.
