Local file access is strengthened on the client side (connector)
when executing `LOCAL INFILE` statements.

The connector is aware of the `filename` specified in a
`LOCAL INFILE` statement (client request), and it verifies
the `filename` got from the server response matches the requested.

…Abstract's close function

As part of the connection API, improved the type
hint of `close()` which is an alias of the instance
method `disconnect()`. Thanks, Parul Gupta, for the
contribution!

Additionally, since `close()` is the preferred term (see
[PEP 249 – Python Database API Specification v2.0]),
with this patch, we also changed roles by letting
`disconnect()` now be an alias of `close()`.

From a functional perspective, nothing changes, this
modification is oriented to provide consistency and
clarity to the interface declaration.

Fixed a memory leak in the C-extension occurring in

instantiation, but never decremented when closing
the statement.
