Hello!

I have table with [ltree](https://postgrespro.com/docs/enterprise/10/ltree) column:

```
create table product
(
product_id varchar(18) not null
constraint product_pkey
primary key,
category_path ltree
);

```

And trying execute this SQL query:

```
insert into product
(product_id, category_path)
(select r.product_id, r.category_path from unnest($1::product[]) as r)
```
Args:
```
[[{'category_path': 'A.B', 'product_id': '3912331'}]]
```

And i get this error:

```

asyncpg.exceptions._base.UnsupportedClientFeatureError: cannot decode type "public"."product": text encoding of composite types is not supported
```
But "public"."product" -- it's schema and table name.

If i create new table with `category_path` = `text` instead `ltree`, all ok.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the query using the ltree column and composite product type, then inspect asyncpg/protocol/settings.pyx and asyncpg/protocol/codecs/base.pyx, which appear in the traceback. Trace registration of the composite type and verify the behavior is corrected for this case without breaking existing composite handling.
