Decouple JSON conversion and type conversion.

- Removes the concept of json value converters, as it is no longer needed because the introduction of opaque object serialization.
- Accepts tuple as the value for the `dest` argument for `pg.typing.get_converter`, and remove `pg.typing.get_first_applicable_converter`.
