Improve the error message in COPY with HEADER option.

The error message reported for invalid values of the HEADER option in COPY
command previously used the term "non-negative integer", which is
discouraged by the Error Message Style Guide because it is ambiguous about
whether zero is allowed.

This commit improves the error message by replacing "non-negative integer"
there with "an integer value greater than or equal to zero" to make
the accepted values explicit.
