Don't take me bad, but I find the solution of defining and using a new
callback to call the table AM callback not really elegant, and keeping
all table AM callbacks called at a higher level than the executor
makes the code easier to follow.  Shouldn't we try to keep any calls
to table_finish_bulk_insert() within copy.c for each partition
instead?

Yeah, good point.
