I double-checked, and verified that our only other popen() calls
that use binary mode are dealing with COPY data.  It seems appropriate
to do so in that case, partly because the data might indeed be binary
and partly because we have adequate newline recognition logic in copy.c.
But it does seem best to uniformly use plain "r" or "w" for other
popen's.  So I've fixed this that way.
