Pretty much same as the issue summary: destroy should be @nogc when class
destructor is @nogc.
A piece of code that should work but doesn't:
```D
import core.stdc.stdlib;
import core.lifetime;
class Example {
    int x;
    ~this() @nogc {}
}
void main() @nogc {
    enum size = __traits(classInstanceSize, Example);
    auto pointer = malloc(size)[0..size];
    scope(exit) free(pointer.ptr);
    Example ex = emplace!(Example)(pointer); // Error: `@nogc` function `D
main` cannot call non- at nogc function `object.destroy!(true, Example).destroy`
    destroy(ex);
}
```
There should be a @nogc overload for destroy that allows people to use class
destructors. Currently there is no way to call destroy in a @nogc function
without breaking the type system. 
Or just un-deprecating class allocators / dealloctors would work too.
