\close has been introduced in d55322b0da to be able to close a
prepared statement using the extended protocol in psql. Per discussion,
the name "close" is ambiguous. At the SQL level, CLOSE is used to close
a cursor. At protocol level, the close message can be used to either
close a statement or a portal.
This patch renames \close to \close_prepared to avoid any ambiguity and
make it clear that this is used to close a prepared statement. This new
name has been chosen based on the feedback from the author and the
reviewers.
