Great example of mixing a v3 prepare with an simple query execute. I didn't 
think about that while even the docs state clearly: "Named prepared statements 
can also be created and accessed at the SQL command level, using PREPARE and 
EXECUTE." Sticking with either protocol version does not trigger the error.

So we likely need to backpatch something more then a doc-fix for 9.6. Given the 
patch proposals around, this would either disable a feature (in extended query 
protocol) or add a new one (in simple query protocol/SQL). Or would it be more 
appropriate to split the patch and use CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK in prepare.c on 
master only? I'm asking in case there is a necessity to prepare a proposal for 
an documentation patch targeting 9.6 specifically.

Best regards
Tobias
