8cd94a14c7 Allow types to specify preference format result and param formats
This will be useful for array and composite types that may have to
support elements that may not support binary encoding.

It also is slightly more convenient for text-ish types to have a default
format of text.

f3816bd1c0 Get implemented on T instead of *T
Methods defined on T are also available on *T. Thought this technically
changes the interface, because *T will be automatically dereferenced as
needed it shouldn't be a breaking change.

See a8802b16cc593842f5c69b0f7cfb0de11d5cd3a8 for similar change.

a8802b16cc Value, EncodeBinary, EncodeText, and MarshalJSON on T instead of *T
Methods defined on T are also available on *T. This change makes Value
consistent with database/sql Value implementations. It also makes Value,
EncodeBinary, and EncodeText more convenient to use because you can
pass T or *T as an argument to a query.

The MarshalJSON change is even more significant because without it
json.Marshal would generate the "%v" format instead of the implemented
MarshalJSON.

Thought this technically changes the interface, because *T will be
automatically dereferenced as needed it shouldn't be a breaking change.

See: https://github.com/jackc/pgx/issues/538 for initial discussion.
