Log message:
    Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes
    (backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
    munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
    change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
    Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
    more completely and accurately.
