Refactor COPY TO to use format callback functions.
This commit introduces a new CopyToRoutine struct, which is a set of
callback routines to copy tuples in a specific format. It also makes
the existing formats (text, CSV, and binary) utilize these format
callbacks.
This change is a preliminary step towards making the COPY TO command
extensible in terms of output formats.
Additionally, this refactoring contributes to a performance
improvement by reducing the number of "if" branches that need to be
checked on a per-row basis when sending field representations in text
or CSV mode. The performance benchmark results showed ~5% performance
gain in text or CSV mode.
