rebased and removed the catversion bump.

Looked into this and it generally seems okay, but I do have one gripe here:

The cursor should be set to 0 in the text formatted case too if this is how we chose to encode data.

However I am not quite convinced I like the StringInfoData usage here. Why not just change the struct to include additional array of lengths rather than replacing the existing values array with StringInfoData array, that seems generally both simpler and should have smaller memory footprint too, no?

We could also merge the binary and changed arrays into single char array named something like format (as data can be either unchanged, binary or text) and just reuse same identifiers we have in protocol.
