As this is also the direction that Tom Lane indicated we should go, here
is a patch which errors out after receiving any more copy data past the
EOF marker. This also fixes the protocol problem I previously brought up
because the act of checking to see if there is any more data does ensure
that if there isn't any more data in the current buffer, that we wait for
the client to provide CopyDone/Fail.
