I tried this on my environment. This is a change for COPY
FROM not COPY TO but this decreases COPY TO
performance with [1]... Hmm...

master:   697.693 msec (the best case)
v15:      576.374 msec (the best case)
v15+this: 593.559 msec (the best case)

[1] COPY (SELECT 1::int2,2::int2,3::int2,4::int2,5::int2,6::int2,7::int2,8::int2,9::int2,10::int2,11::int2,12::int2,13::int2,14::int2,15::int2,16::int2,17::int2,18::int2,19::int2,20::int2, generate_series(1, 1000000::int4)) TO '/dev/null' \watch c=15

So I think that v15 is good.

The profiles on Michael's environment [2] showed that
CopyOneRow() % was increased by v15. But it
(CopyToTextOneRow() % not CopyOneRow() %) wasn't increased
by v15. It's decreased instead.

[2] https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/ZdbtQJ-p5H1_EDwE%40paquier.xyz#6439e6ad574f2d47cd7220e9bfed3889

So I think that v15 doesn't have performance regression but
my environment isn't suitable for benchmark...
