Issue number: resolves internal
What is the current behavior?
When
ion-tab-baris rapidly mounted and unmounted, a race condition in connectedCallback can cause the keyboard controller to be created after the component has been disconnected. This results in orphaned event listeners (keyboardWillShow,keyboardWillHide) on the window object that are never cleaned up, causing a memory leak.What is the new behavior?
The keyboard controller is now properly destroyed in all scenarios:
The promise tracking pattern ensures only the most recent async operation assigns its result
Does this introduce a breaking change?

Current dev build:
I was unable to find a way to create tests that accurately identified if this problem was occurring. Memory leaks are notoriously difficult to created automated tests for. I ultimately removed my previous attempts because I didn't want to give a false sense of security.
