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.
