Looks good, though I'm not sure whether the casts are necessary.

Looks, and not as complicated as I feared it might be 😅
Some thoughts:
- We can make arrays as a whole opt-in via NpgsqlSlimDataSourceBuilder (#4965). At that point reducing the array overhead becomes less important, but this significant size reduction for those who do opt in is still definitely nice to have.
- On the other hand, this adds some overhead for arrays (concurrent dictionary lookup per array operation, more virtual calls per array element). It could be claimed that if you opt into arrays, you'd rather have them faster and are willing to pay a bit of size for that; though I'm guessing the runtime overhead added here is probably negligible (maybe a benchmark would help).
- We've been discussing redoing/changing type handlers in general because the current design is problematic/convoluted (e.g. more in the direction of Slon). If we do that, then the churn here may not be worth it.
To be clear I'm totally fine with merging this (though a quick benchmark would be nice), just pointing out some points.
