It was a mistake to use it in other contexts. This made interop
difficult between pacakges that depended on pgtype such as pgx and
packages that did not like pgconn and pgproto3. In particular this was
awkward for prepared statements.
This is preparation for removing pgx.PreparedStatement in favor of
pgconn.PreparedStatement.
It's possible to define a type (e.g., an enum) with the same name in two
different schemas. When initializing data types after connecting, types
defined within schemas other than pg_catalog or public should be
qualified with their schema name to disambiguate them and ensure all
types with the same base name get added to the map of OID to type.
Prior to this commit, the last type scanned would "win", and all others
with the same name would be missing from the ConnInfo type maps, which
would subsequently cause any PREPARE involving columns of those missing
types to return the error "unknown oid".
