Comment (by robe):

 pramsey want to check my work on this to make sure I did the right thing.
 I changed to use both for geography_from_geometry and geography_segmentize


 {{{
  gserialized_geography_from_lwgeom(lwgeom, -1);
 }}}

 so it behaves just like when you cast from text,

 instead of that long painful list of add/drop/set_geodetic.

 If it looks okay to you I will backport to 2.2.  Not sure it makes sense
 for 2.1.
