Fix performance problem with new COPY DEFAULT code

9f8377f7a added code to allow COPY FROM insert a column's default value
when the input matches the DEFAULT string specified in the COPY command.

Here we fix some inefficient code which needlessly palloc0'd an array to
store if we should use the default value or input value for the given
column.  This array was being palloc0'd and pfree'd once per row.  It's
much more efficient to allocate this once and just reset the values once
per row.
