I don't think they should do that. The portal remains open, and the
libpq interface does that. The portal gets closed at end of transaction
without the need for any client message. I think if the client wanted
to close the portal ahead of time, it would need a new libpq entry point
to send the message to do that.
(I didn't add a Close Portal message to PQsendQueryInternal in pipeline
mode precisely because there is no such message in PQsendQueryGuts.
I think it would be wrong to unconditionally add a Close Portal message
to any of those places.)
