Subject: [PATCH] doc: Add example for how to set file_fdw column option

The documentation is pretty light on how to set column options
on foreign tables, and the file_fdw docs refer to COPY when
documenting force_null even though it's not used in the same
way. Add a small example to describe how to use it.
