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.

This adds PostgreSQL numeric mapping to and from
github.com/shopspring/decimal.
Makes pgtype.NullAssignTo public as external types need this functionality.
Begin extraction of pgtype testing functionality so it can easily be used by
external types.
