This is useful as a way for extensions to process COPY TO rows in the way they see fit (say auditing, analytics, backend, etc.) without the need to invoke an external process running as the OS user running the backend through PROGRAM that requires superuser rights. COPY FROM already provides a similar callback for logical replication. For COPY TO, the callback is triggered when we are ready to send a row in CopySendEndOfRow(), which is the same code path as when sending a row to a frontend or a pipe/file. A small test module, test_copy_callbacks, is added to provide some coverage for this facility.
