And of course, I've managed to forget about bb45156f342c and the
reason behind the addition of the field is to be able to make the
difference between the named and ALL cases for DEALLOCATE, around
here:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/ZNq9kRwWbKzvR%2B2a%40paquier.xyz

This is new in v17, so perhaps it could be changed, but I think that's
important to make the difference here for monitoring purposes as
DEALLOCATE ALL could be used as a way to clean up prepared statements
in connection poolers (for example, pgbouncer's server_reset_query).
And doing this tweak in the Node structure of DeallocateStmt is
simpler than having to maintain a new pg_node_attr for query jumbling.
