Description

Describe the bug

A user reported that when sending ILP traffic to PG the connection is maintained and the ILP client silently continues sending data to - effectively - nowehere.

https://github.com/questdb/py-questdb-client/issues/20

We should reject ILP traffic in the PG handling code and disconnect with an error.

Research direction

Start by locating QuestDB's PGWire handling code and the path that receives ILP traffic. Trace how the connection currently handles that input; done means ILP traffic is rejected, the client receives an error, and the connection disconnects.
