If we want to start documenting the binary format for all data types, it
should go into the "Data Types" chapter. There, we already document the
text format in great detail, so putting the binary format in there as
well would make sense.

The libpq chapter could then contain some examples of applying that
information in the context of libpq. But the libpq documentation
shouldn't be the primary place where the formats are documented.
