Create ST_AsEWKT for geography or harmonize ST_AsText for geometry

Description

We don't have an ST_AsEWKT for geography though the ST_AsText for geography behaves more like our ST_AsEWKT for geometry.

Note our ST_AsText for geometry doesn't output Z etc, but our ST_AsText for geography does. This inconsistency is driving me batty.

Duplicates #287. See discussion (or lack thereof) on postgis-devel

ST_AsText for geometry _now_ outputs ZM. Still EWKT outputs SRID, while ST_AsText(geography) doesn't. Should ST_AsEWKT(geography) do anything more than casting geography to geometry and use ST_AsEWKT ?

Done with r8844

NOTE: r8845 also adds the signature for TEXT input, fixing the testsuite (use of literals).
