Peter Eisentraut 072132f04e Add header matching mode to COPY FROM
COPY FROM supports the HEADER option to silently discard the header
line from a CSV or text file.  It is possible to load by mistake a
file that matches the expected format, for example, if two text
columns have been swapped, resulting in garbage in the database.

This adds a new option value HEADER MATCH that checks the column names
in the header line against the actual column names and errors out if
they do not match.
