COPY FROM should require either INSERT or UPDATE or both according to
what rows are being copied. If a copied primary key already exists,
that will be an update. I don't see any reason to give COPY FROM any
special treatment - surely it should succeed or fail according to
whether what it is trying to do is within the user's privileges.
