stream: fix _final and 'prefinish' timing

This PR fixes a few different things:

The timing of 'prefinish' depends on whether or not
_final is defined. In on case the event is emitted
synchronously with end() and otherwise asynchronously.

_final is currently unecessarily called asynchronously
which forces implementors to use 'prefinish' as a hack
to emulate synchronous behaviour. Furthermore, this hack
is subtly broken due to the above issue.

The stream should not finish if errored or destroyed
synchronously during the prefinish stage.
