Ok. I rewrited the patch 0001 with the Alexey suggestion.
Patch 0002... required minor changes (new version see in attachment).

Also I added some optimization (see 0003 and 0004 patches). Here we 
execute 'COPY .. FROM  STDIN' at foreign server only once, in the 
BeginForeignCopy routine. It is a proof-of-concept patches.

Also I see that error messages processing needs to be rewritten. Unlike 
the INSERT operation applied to each row, here we find out copy errors 
only after sending the END of copy. Currently implementations 0002 and 
0004 provide uninformative error messages for some cases.
