Provide a FORCE NULL option to COPY in CSV mode.
This forces an input field containing the quoted null string to be
returned as a NULL. Without this option, only unquoted null strings
behave this way. This helps where some CSV producers insist on quoting
every field, whether or not it is needed. The option takes a list of
fields, and only applies to those columns. There is an equivalent
column-level option added to file_fdw.
Ian Barwick, with some tweaking by Andrew Dunstan, reviewed by Payal
Singh.
