libpqxx 8.0.0 release candidate 2

on GitHub

Here's a new release candidate for a possible 8.0 release for you to try out. If you run into any problems with it, please bring it up on Github so we can improve things.

Changes from RC1:

• Add begin() const, end() const, etc. to pqxx::array.
• Cursor close() is no longer noexcept. Destructor still is though.
• Fix to make pqxx::array streamable.
• pqxx::zview now asserts the terminating zero.

There are also a few tweaks to the internals, particularly in encoding support and in streaming. Things got a little bit simpler, and hopefully a bit faster as well. I've added a few assertions though, so please let me know if any of those fail.

You can follow the work and see the diffs in PR #914.
