When targeting prunes out all the resource nodes between a provider and
its close node, there was no dependency to ensure the close happened
after the configure. Needed to add an explicit dependency from the close
to the provider.
This tweak highlighted the fact that CloseProviderTransformer needed to
happen after DisableProviderTransformer, since
DisableProviderTransformer inspects up-edges to decide what to disable,
and CloseProviderTransformer adds an up-edge.

Currently Terraform is leaking goroutines and with that memory. I know
strictly speaking this maybe isn’t a real concern for Terraform as it’s
mostly used as a short running command line executable.
But there are a few of us out there that are using Terraform in some
long running processes and then this starts to become a problem.
Next to that it’s of course good programming practise to clean up
resources when they're not needed anymore. So even for the standard
command line use case, this seems an improvement in resource management.
Personally I see no downsides as the primary connection to the plugin
is kept alive (the plugin is not killed) and only unused connections
that will never be used again are closed to free up any related
goroutines and memory.
