Description
It seems that Apache Arrow Flight SQL doesn't provide a command that closes the current session explicitly:
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/FlightSql.html
In https://lists.apache.org/thread/0w25o85y8vsndz87kpjljxz24x077o3y , using a custom (close) action was suggested.
@lidavidm Is using a custom close action still a suggested approach to close the current session? I have a concern about this approach. If each Apache Arrow Flight SQL server implementation uses different custom close action, users can't use a general Apache Arrow Flight SQL client including ADBC to use Apache Arrow Flight SQL servers. (Users need to implement a custom close action for each Apache Arrow Flight SQL server.)

Research direction
Start with the Apache Arrow Flight SQL format page and the linked mailing-list thread to determine the status of a standard session-close mechanism. The issue names no source files or tests; done would require an agreed interoperable approach and a concrete implementation scope for this PostgreSQL adapter.
