Avoid useless buffer allocations during binary COPY FROM.

The raw_buf and line_buf buffers aren't used when reading binary format,
so skip allocating them.  raw_buf is 64K so that seems like a worthwhile
savings.  An unused line_buf only wastes 1K, but as long as we're checking
it's free to avoid allocating that too.
