Subject: [PATCH] Reduce COPY IN lock from AccessExclusive to a more reasonable
 RowExclusive (my fault).  Also, install a check to prevent people from trying
 COPY BINARY to stdout/from stdin.  No way that will work unless we redesign
 the frontend COPY protocol ... which is not worth the trouble in the near
 future ...
