      Add support for piping COPY to/from an external program. · 3d009e45
      Heikki Linnakangas authored
      This includes backend "COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM '...'" syntax, and corresponding
      psql \copy syntax. Like with reading/writing files, the backend version is
      superuser-only, and in the psql version, the program is run in the client.
      
      In the passing, the psql \copy STDIN/STDOUT syntax is subtly changed: if you
      the stdin/stdout is quoted, it's now interpreted as a filename. For example,
      "\copy foo from 'stdin'" now reads from a file called 'stdin', not from
      standard input. Before this, there was no way to specify a filename called
      stdin, stdout, pstdin or pstdout.
      
      This creates a new function in pgport, wait_result_to_str(), which can
      be used to convert the exit status of a process, as returned by wait(3),
      to a human-readable string.
