The driver.Valuer interface lets types map their Go representation to
a suitable database/sql/driver.Value.
If a user defines the Value method with a value receiver, such as:
type MyStr string
func (s MyStr) Value() (driver.Value, error) {
return strings.ToUpper(string(s)), nil
}
Then they can't use (*MyStr)(nil) as an argument to an SQL call via
database/sql, because *MyStr also implements driver.Value, but via a
compiler-generated wrapper which checks whether the pointer is nil and
panics if so.
We now accept (*MyStr)(nil) and map it to "nil" (an SQL "NULL")
if the Valuer method is implemented on MyStr instead of *MyStr.
If a user implements the driver.Value interface with a pointer
receiver, they retain full control of what nil means:
type MyStr string
func (s *MyStr) Value() (driver.Value, error) {
if s == nil {
return "missing MyStr", nil
}
return strings.ToUpper(string(*s)), nil
}
Adds tests for both cases.

Previously named byte types like json.RawMessage could get dirty
database memory from a call to Scan. These types would activate a
code path that didn't clone the byte data coming from the database
before assigning it. Another thread could then overwrite the byte
array in src, which has unexpected consequences.
Originally reported by Jason Moiron; the patch and test are his
suggestions. Fixes#13905.

In particular, don't assume that one reflect.Value can be assigned to another just because they have the same reflect.Kind.
