introduce CopyFormat, refactor CopyFormatOptions

Currently, the COPY command format is determined by two boolean fields
(binary, csv_mode) in CopyFormatOptions.  This approach, while
functional, isn't ideal for implementing other formats in the future.

To simplify adding new formats, introduce a CopyFormat enum.  This makes
the code cleaner and more maintainable, allowing for easier integration
of additional formats down the line.
