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.
