Reject COPY TO of unlogged tables during recovery.

Unlogged tables have no data on a standby, so reading one there must
fail. SELECT and COPY (SELECT ...) TO already report a clear error,
but COPY with a table name read the table directly and failed with a
low-level error instead:

ERROR: could not open file "base/5/16384": No such file or directory

Check for this case in COPY TO and report the same error as SELECT. On
v19 and later, also check each partition when copying from a
partitioned table, so that an unlogged partition is reported too.

Backpatch to all supported versions, since the low-level error looks
like data corruption.
