So, git archaeology led me to this thread
https://postgr.es/m/202106072107.d4i55hdscxqj@alvherre.pgsql
which is why we added that message in the first place.

I was about to push the attached patch (a merged version of Kyotaro's
and mine), but now I'm wondering if that's the right approach.

Alternatives:

- Have the client not complain if it gets CloseComplete in idle state.
  (After all, it's a pretty useless message, since we already do nothing
  with it if we get it in BUSY state.)

- Have the server not send CloseComplete at all in the cases where
  the client is not expecting it.  Not sure how this would be
  implemented.

- Other ideas?

Subject: [PATCH v2] PQsendQuery: Don't send Close in pipeline mode

In commit 4efcf47053ea, we modified PQsendQuery to send a Close message
when in pipeline mode.  But now we discover that that's not a good
thing: under certain circumstances, it causes the server to deliver a
CloseComplete message at a time when the client is not expecting it.  We
failed to noticed it because the tests don't have any scenario where the
problem is hit.  Remove the offending Close, and add a test case that
tickles the problematic scenario.
