typed_array.go.erb was not updated back in
a8802b16cc593842f5c69b0f7cfb0de11d5cd3a8 when Value, EncodeBinary,
EncodeText, and MarshalJSON were changed to be defined on T instead of
*T. This has been corrected.
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"`.
