While double-checking the code, one thing felt incorrect in the
description of these two new wait events, as copyto.c and
copyfromparse.c can set copy_file under copy_dest=COPY_FILE for three
cases, not two contrary to what is said upthread:
- PROGRESS_COPY_TYPE_FILE
- PROGRESS_COPY_TYPE_PROGRAM
- PROGRESS_COPY_TYPE_PIPE, for a non-DestRemote.

The COPY code is designed to be pluggable depending on what extension
code passes down as option, and not mentioning the pipe case would be
incorrect.  Added a mention about this part, and called it a day.
