remove unregister trait-change callback in ExtensionManager.__del__

Due to reference cycles, this can never be called at a time when it would matter,
but seems to cause weird crashes sometimes during interpreter teardown on Python 3.5 with traitlets 4.1.

     """A class to manage IPython extensions.
 
     An IPython extension is an importable Python module that has
     a function with the signature::
 
         def load_ipython_extension(ipython):
             # Do things with ipython
 
     This function is called after your extension is imported and the
     currently active :class:`InteractiveShell` instance is passed as
     the only argument.  You can do anything you want with IPython at
     that point, including defining new magic and aliases, adding new
     components, etc.
     
     You can also optionally define an :func:`unload_ipython_extension(ipython)`
     function, which will be called if the user unloads or reloads the extension.
     The extension manager will only call :func:`load_ipython_extension` again
     if the extension is reloaded.
 
     You can put your extension modules anywhere you want, as long as
     they can be imported by Python's standard import mechanism.  However,
     to make it easy to write extensions, you can also put your extensions
     in ``os.path.join(self.ipython_dir, 'extensions')``.  This directory
     is added to ``sys.path`` automatically.
