Log Message:
-----------
Insert into getCopyDataMessage() the same logic that already existed in the
main code path for enlarging libpq's input buffer in one swoop when needing to
read a long data message. Without this, the code will double the buffer size,
read more data, notice it still hasn't got the whole message, and repeat till
it finally has a large enough buffer. Which wastes a lot of data-moving
effort and also memory (since malloc probably can't do anything very useful
with the freed-up smaller buffers). Not sure why this wasn't there already;
certainly the COPY data path is a place where we're quite likely to see long
data messages. I'm not backpatching though, since this is just a marginal
performance issue rather than a real bug.
