there are two leaks here:
* QueueImpl::delivery might create a new iterator if a delivery happens right after a consumer was removed, and that iterator might belog to a consumer that was already closed
as a result of that, the iterator may leak messages and hold references until a reboot is done. I have seen scenarios where messages would not be dleivered because of this.
* ProtonTransaction holding references: the last transaction might hold messages in the memory longer than expected. In tests I have performed the messages were accumulating in memory. and I cleared it here.
The issue identified with AMQP was under Transaction usage, and while opening and closing sessions.
It seems the leak would be released once the connection is closed.
We added a new testsuite under ./tests/leak-tests To fix and validate these issues
