    Allow contrib/file_fdw to read from a program, like COPY FROM PROGRAM. · 8e91e12b

    This patch just exposes COPY's FROM PROGRAM option in contrib/file_fdw.
    There don't seem to be any security issues with that that are any worse
    than what already exist with file_fdw and COPY; as in the existing cases,
    only superusers are allowed to control what gets executed.
    
    A regression test case might be nice here, but choosing a 100% portable
    command to run is hard.  (We haven't got a test for COPY FROM PROGRAM
    itself, either.)
