possibly memory leak reported by valgrind #122

Description

Hi all,
I created a demo application based on the 1.58.0-a version of this DAP implementation.
After doing the memory check by the valgrind tool, I get a possibly lost report as following:

--------------------------------------------------------
  672 bytes in 2 blocks are possibly lost in loss record 578 of 581
--------------------------------------------------------
	at 0x484DA83: calloc (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)
	 by 0x40147D9: calloc (rtld-malloc.h:44)
	 by 0x40147D9: allocate_dtv (dl-tls.c:375)
	 by 0x40147D9: _dl_allocate_tls (dl-tls.c:634)
	 by 0x819E7B4: allocate_stack (allocatestack.c:430)
	 by 0x819E7B4: pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.34 (pthread_create.c:647)
	 by 0x7EB2328: std::thread::_M_start_thread(std::unique_ptr<std::thread::_State, std::default_delete<std::thread::_State> >, void (*)()) (no file available)
	 by 0x7CB3AA9: std::thread::thread<(anonymous namespace)::Impl::startProcessingMessages(std::function<void ()> const&)::{lambda()#1}, , void>((anonymous namespace)::Impl::startProcessingMessages(std::function<void ()> const&)::{lambda()#1}&&) (std_thread.h:143)
	 by 0x7CAF1AD: (anonymous namespace)::Impl::startProcessingMessages(std::function<void ()> const&) (session.cpp:86)
	 by 0x4BAEEE: dap::Session::bind(std::shared_ptr<dap::Reader> const&, std::shared_ptr<dap::Writer> const&, std::function<void ()> const&) (session.h:450)
	 by 0x4BAF57: dap::Session::bind(std::shared_ptr<dap::ReaderWriter> const&, std::function<void ()> const&) (session.h:455)

When I investigated the call stack, I found it was caused by a termination of the dispatchingThread and recvThread without join procedure.

Finally, I found the root cause is destructor method at "session.cpp:~Impl()" missing the virtual keyword.
After modifying ~Impl() to virtual ~Impl(), the issue disappeared.
