When close() is called on a readline instance, it is possible that data is already buffered, and will trigger 'line' events. This commit adds a warning to the corresponding docs. Note that
a similar warning already exists for the pause() method.

Fixes: #22615

@@ -195,6 +195,9 @@ The `rl.close()` method closes the `readline.Interface` instance and
relinquishes control over the `input` and `output` streams. When called,
the `'close'` event will be emitted.

Calling `rl.close()` does not immediately stop other events (including `'line'`)

Micro-nit: Is immediately meaningful here? Would it be better without it?

Instead of immediately, might necessarily be better?

I copied the text from the pause() docs for consistency. That said, I'm open to using any wording here if you feel strongly enough.

It’s a nit. I don’t feel strongly.
