QualifiedName to types, composites, enums
Types in PostgreSQL can also be qualified with a schema. However, it's not sufficient to just change the type of `TypeInformation`'s `typeName` to `QualifiedName`, because a type isn't *just* a name. Postgres types can also be parameterised by modifiers (e.g., `numeric(7, 2)`) and array types of arbitrary depth (e.g., `int4[][]`). To accomodate this, a new type is introduced, `TypeName`. Like `QualifiedName`, it has an `IsString` instance, so the common case (`schema` set to `Nothing`, no modifiers, scalar type) will continue working as before.

Any reason to not just stay with char?

Because the underlying type is actually called bpchar, not char. Now that we quote things properly, the SQL we produce for lit '👍' will be '👍'::"char". However, in PostgreSQL, char and "char" are different types, with the former meaning bpchar latter meaning a single ASCII character, so if we don't change this to bpchar then lit '👍' == lit '👎'.

Assuming this is true:
| - `TypeInformation`'s `typeName` parameter from `String` to `TypeName`. | |
| - `DBEnum`'s `enumTypeName` method from `String` to `QualifiedName`. | |
| - `DBComposite`'s `compositeTypeName` method from `String` to `QualifiedName`. | |
| - `TypeInformation`'s `typeName` parameter from `String` to `TypeName`. | |
| - `DBEnum`'s `enumTypeName` method from `String` to `QualifiedName`. | |
| - `DBComposite`'s `compositeTypeName` method from `String` to `QualifiedName`. | |
| - Both `TypeName` and `QualifiedName` have `IsString` instances which have the same behavior as the original `String` types they now replace. |

Eh, kind of. If your string represents an unqualified name with no uppercase or special characters (or modifiers or array nonsense in the case of TypeName), then yes. Otherwise, no. Someone could previously have set typeName to a String like "\"mySchema\".\"myType\"(4)[][]" — we make no attempt to parse that into a TypeName.
