feat(context): ShouldBind counterparts for Bind methods (#1047)

* feat(context): ShouldBind counterparts for Bind methods + tests

* docs(readme): Switch examples to use ShouldBind methods

Add section for bind methods types, explain difference in behavior.
Switch all `c.Bind` examples to use `c.ShouldBind`.

Note that you need to set the corresponding binding tag on all fields you want to bind. For example, when binding from JSON, set `json:"fieldname"`.
When using the Bind-method, Gin tries to infer the binder depending on the Content-Type header. If you are sure what you are binding, you can use BindWith.
Also, Gin provides two sets of methods for binding:
- **Type** - Must bind
- **Methods** - `Bind`, `BindJSON`, `BindQuery`
- **Behavior** - These methods use `MustBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the request is aborted with `c.AbortWithError(400, err).SetType(ErrorTypeBind)`. This sets the response status code to 400 and the `Content-Type` header is set to `text/plain; charset=utf-8`. Note that if you try to set the response code after this, it will result in a warning `[GIN-debug] [WARNING] Headers were already written. Wanted to override status code 400 with 422`. If you wish to have greater control over the behavior, consider using the `ShouldBind` equivalent method.
- **Type** - Should bind
- **Methods** - `ShouldBind`, `ShouldBindJSON`, `ShouldBindQuery`
- **Behavior** - These methods use `ShouldBindWith` under the hood. If there is a binding error, the error is returned and it is the developer's responsibility to handle the request and error appropriately.
You can also specify that specific fields are required. If a field is decorated with `binding:"required"` and has a empty value when binding, the current request will fail with an error.
