Subject: [PATCH v2 3/9] pqformat: Move functions for type sending inline, add
 pq_begintypsend_ex().

Combined with the previous commit inlining more functions in
stringinfo this allows many type send functions to be optimized
considerably better, optimizing away the StringInfoData entirely.

The new pq_begintypsend_ex() is useful to avoid over-allocating for
send functions that only output a small amount of data, e.g. int4send
now allocates 9 bytes, instead of 1024.
