Add option force_array for COPY JSON FORMAT

This adds the force_array option, which is available exclusively
when using COPY TO with the JSON format.

When enabled, this option wraps the output in a top-level JSON array
(enclosed in square brackets with comma-separated elements), making the
entire result a valid single JSON value.  Without this option, the
default behavior is to output a stream of independent JSON objects.

Attempting to use this option with COPY FROM or with formats other than
JSON will raise an error.
