internal/config: support golang overrides for slices (#2339)

* internal/config: support an additional boolean field named "slice" on the "go_type" override property, and update docs

* revert unrelated import string prefix change, and add pgx tests

 - `db_type`:
   - The PostgreSQL or MySQL type to override. Find the full list of supported types in [postgresql_type.go](https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc/blob/main/internal/codegen/golang/postgresql_type.go#L12) or [mysql_type.go](https://github.com/kyleconroy/sqlc/blob/main/internal/codegen/golang/mysql_type.go#L12). Note that for Postgres you must use the pg_catalog prefixed names where available. Can't be used if the `column` key is defined.
-- `column`
+- `column`:
   - In case the type overriding should be done on specific a column of a table instead of a type. `column` should be of the form `table.column` but you can be even more specific by specifying `schema.table.column` or `catalog.schema.table.column`. Can't be used if the `db_type` key is defined.
 - `go_type`:
   - A fully qualified name to a Go type to use in the generated code.
 - `go_struct_tag`:
   - A reflect-style struct tag to use in the generated code, e.g. `a:"b" x:"y,z"`.
     If you want general json/db tags for all fields, use `emit_db_tags` and/or `emit_json_tags` instead.
 - `nullable`:
-  - If true, use this type when a column is nullable. Defaults to `false`.
+  - If `true`, use this type when a column is nullable. Defaults to `false`.
 
-For more complicated import paths, the `go_type` can also be an object.
+When generating code, entries using the `column` key will always have preference over
+entries using the `db_type` key in order to generate the struct.

+For more complicated import paths, the `go_type` can also be an object with the following keys:
+
+- `import`:
+  - The import path for the package where the type is defined.
+- `package`:
+  - The package name where the type is defined. This should only be necessary when your import path doesn't end with the desired package name.
+- `type`:
+  - The type name itself, without any package prefix.
+- `pointer`:
+  - If set to `true`, generated code will use pointers to the type rather than the type itself.
+- `slice`:
+  - If set to `true`, generated code will use a slice of the type rather than the type itself.
