Revert "events: don't delete the listeners array in removeListener()"

This reverts commit 928ea564d1.

Keeping the original Array instance in-place essentially causes a memory leak
on EventEmitters that use an infinite number of event names (an incrementing
counter, for example), which isn't an unreasonable thing to want to do.

Fixes #3702.
