'name' column type parsing method is not implemented

I got uncaught error when execute query

error: Uncaught Error: Don't know how to parse column type: 19
► decode.ts:212:13

212       throw new Error(`Don't know how to parse column type: ${typeOid}`);
                ^

    at decodeText (decode.ts:212:13)
    at decode (decode.ts:220:12)
    at _parseDataRow (query.ts:35:24)
    at handleDataRow (query.ts:47:28)
    at _preparedQuery (connection.ts:505:18)

and the query is

SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables

According to documents, PostgreSQL has ‘name’ special character types and that type is internal type for object names. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-character.html#DATATYPE-CHARACTER-SPECIAL-TABLE

However in deno-postgres, ‘name’ column type is impleted in here https://github.com/buildondata/deno-postgres/blob/7a27fd94c7b765ca256b3da96a9de94f380e6bbe/oid.ts#L5

but parsing method is not implemented. https://github.com/buildondata/deno-postgres/blob/7a27fd94c7b765ca256b3da96a9de94f380e6bbe/decode.ts#L182-L213

@bartlomieju OK, I will open PR ASAP. Would I fix test? Apparently there is no test to decoding strings.

Well… better tests are still a TODO, so I’m ok with a PR without a test for now
