X button doesn't close manually added Popups

[JasonSanford]

If you manually create a Popup with myPopup = new L.Popup() it's impossible to close it with the close button at the top right. Using myMap.removeLayer(myPopup) does seem to work though.

I made a quick example to show what's happening.

Adding this._map.removeLayer(this); after line 73 of Popup.js seems to fix this, but not sure if this is the proper way to handle it.

The close button calls the closePopup() function on the map that it's attached so, but that function only closes the popup that's only that has been opened through map.openPopup(). Perhaps the close button should be able to remove itself without having to use the map's closePopup function or not have it show up at all if it were attached to the map through the addLayer function.

I'd vote for the popup being able to close itself instead of the popup not having a close button.

You're right guys, the popup should be able to close itself. I don't remember why I used map.closePopup there but it should be fixed.
