psql: Add more meta-commands able to use the extended protocol

Currently, only unnamed prepared statement are supported by psql with
the meta-command \bind.  With only this command, it is not possible to
test named statement creation, execution or close through the extended
protocol.

This commit introduces three additional commands:
* \parse creates a prepared statement using the extended protocol,
acting as a wrapper of libpq's PQsendPrepare().
* \bind_named binds and executes an existing prepared statement using
the extended protocol, for PQsendQueryPrepared().
* \close closes an existing prepared statement using the extended
protocol, for PQsendClosePrepared().

This is going to be useful to add regression tests for the extended
query protocol, and I have some plans for that on separate threads.
Note that \bind relies on PQsendQueryParams().

The code of psql is refactored so as bind_flag is replaced by an enum in
_psqlSettings that tracks the type of libpq routine to execute, based on
the meta-command involved, with the default being PQsendQuery().  This
refactoring piece has been written by me, while Anthonin has implemented
the rest.
