This improves handling of unregistered types. In general, they should
"just work". But there are performance benefits gained and some edge
cases avoided by registering types. Updated documentation to mention
this.

This is tricky due to driver.Valuer returning any. For example, we can
plan for fmt.Stringer because it always returns a string.
Because of this driver.Valuer was always handled as the last option. But
with pgx v5 now having the ability to find underlying types like a
string and supporting fmt.Stringer it meant that driver.Valuer was
often not getting called because something else was found first.
This change tries driver.Valuer immediately after the initial PlanScan
for the Codec. So a type that directly implements a pgx interface should
be used, but driver.Valuer will be prefered before all the attempts to
handle renamed types, pointer deferencing, etc.

Added ValueRoundTripTest to pgxtest
Removed pgtype/testutil
pgtype tests now run with all (applicable) query modes. This gives
better coverage than before and revealed several bugs which are also
fixed in this commit.
- Remove rarely used ScanPlan.Scan arguments
- Plus other refactorings and fixes that fell out of this change.
- Plus rows Scan now handles checking for changed type.
Because reading a record type requires the decoder to be able to look up oid
to type mapping and types such as hstore have types that are not fixed between
different PostgreSQL servers it was necessary to restructure the pgtype system
so all encoders and decodes take a *ConnInfo that includes oid/name/type
information.
Though this doesn't follow Go naming conventions exactly it makes names more
consistent with PostgreSQL and it is easier to read. For example, TIDOID becomes
TidOid. In addition this is one less breaking change in the move to V3.
To aid in composability, these methods no longer write their own length. This
is especially useful for text formatted arrays and may be useful for future
database/sql compatibility. It also makes the code a little simpler as the
types no longer have to compute their own size.
Along with this, these methods cannot encode NULL. They now return a boolean
if they are NULL. This also benefits text array encoding as numeric arrays
require NULL to be exactly `NULL` while string arrays require NULL to be
`"NULL"`.
