Are you crazy? Sure, if you want to destroy all of the changes made to the
database in that transaction and thoroughly confuse the client
application, you can send a TERM signal to a backend, but the consequences
to your data are on your own head.

Fix the application, don't tell Postgres to stop being a decent database.
