Tamir Duberstein 7162c4d05c database/sql/driver: remove string exclusion
The exclusion of string from IsScanValue prevents driver authors from
writing their drivers in such a way that would allow users to
distinguish between strings and byte arrays returned from a database.
Such drivers are possible today, but require their authors to deviate
from the guidance provided by the standard library.

This exclusion has been in place since the birth of this package in
https://github.com/golang/go/commit/357f2cb1a385f4d1418e48856f9abe0cce,
but the fakedb implementation shipped in the same commit violates the
exclusion!

Strictly speaking this is a breaking change, but it increases the set
of permissible Scan types, and should not cause breakage in practice.

No test changes are necessary because fakedb already exercises this.

Fixes #6497.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
