Disable WAL-skipping optimization for COPY on views and foreign tables

COPY can skip writing WAL when loading data on a table which has been
created in the same transaction as the one loading the data, however
this cannot work on views or foreign table as this would result in
trying to flush relation files which do not exist.  So disable the
optimization so as commands are able to work the same way with any
configuration of wal_level.

Tests are added to cover the different cases, which need to have
wal_level set to minimal to allow the problem to show up, and that is
not the default configuration.
