Yeah, that's a good idea. PSA patch that creates the table of 1600
columns and inserts 41 rows into the foreign table. If the batch_size
adjustment fix isn't there, we will hit the error. On my dev system,
postgres_fdw contrib regression tests execution time: with and without
the attached patch 4.5 sec and 5.7 sec respectively.

Thanks for the patch. I also prepared a patch, just sharing. I'm okay
if it's ignored.
