Thanks!

Are there any objections for the change? If acceptable,
I'd like to apply it prior to SQL/MED and file_fdw patches.

We could have some better name for Begin/Next/EndCopyFrom() and
the exported CopyState. As Shigeru mentioned, COPY FROM consists of
"a file reader" and "a heap inserter", but file_fdw only uses the
file reader. In addition, we could split CopyState into two versions
for COPY FROM and COPY TO later. So, it might be better to export
them as "FileReader API" or some similar names rather than CopyFrom.
