[Libpqxx-general] Support char & unsigned char types

[Maxime van Noppen]

Hi,

I have a CHAR field in my database and it seems that pqxx doesn't
support retrieving char fields (at least via the .as<char>() function).
I checked the source and it seems that there are no string_traits for
those two types. As it is quite straightforward I did the patch and it
works well for me (see attached file).

However, I'm curious about why all this string_traits stuff is needed.
Aren't C++ stringstreams sufficient for this ?

Thanks !
