This is ~5% faster in the Tuple Stream test, and allocates 13% less memory in total. We still have to see what happens to other types and encoders. Running this here just to see if MacOS tests are green in CI.
…se slow path more often Also expose ConnectOpts(..), which wasn't exposed before!
These don't seem to make a difference, probably because they are small and were already inlined.
…tween libraries in docs

This is ~6% faster in the Tuple Stream benchmark, and allocates 13% less memory in total, not to mention one fewer dependency.
But most of all, binary COPY now runs in half the time it used to!
TODO for future PRs:
datatype. If it isn't, asktext's maintainers if there's an unsafe UTF8 decoding function that assumes valid UTF8.Intin the heap?
