New Node Neo version! @duckdb/node-api@1.2.1-alpha.17

[jraymakers]

Changes in this release:

• Support for instance cache.
• Support for explicitly closing an instance.
• Support for getting the column names and types of a result in a JSON-serializable format.
• Performance improvements in converting BLOB values to strings. (Thanks shevchenkonik.)
• Support for getting result data as JS built-ins.
• Support for custom conversion of result data.
• Support for getting row objects or columns object from a chunk, and fix documentation regarding these methods. (Thanks yangbooom for reporting.)
• Improvements to value-creation methods, which now accept more (JS) types.
• Documentation for most of the above.

BREAKING METHOD NAME CHANGES:

• DuckDBConnection: close/disconnect -> closeSync/disconnectSync
• DuckDBAppender: flush -> flushSync, close -> closeSync
• These name changes reflect the existing (synchronous) behavior of these methods.
• Because they can sometimes perform nontrivial amounts of work, asynchronous variants will be provided in a future version.
