Saves CPU time (and power usage) by skipping the allocation and deallocation of buffers for each row. The downside is that the data is only valid for one iteration, but that's probably all that most users of COPY OUT need anyway. The callback-based `PQhandleCopyData` reduces CPU usage by more than half in my toy benchmark. Wall-clock time stayed about the same as it was. The disadvantage is that this breaks with existing libpq API style. But when performance matters, that might be worth it.
Pass the buffer to the callback as `const`. Instead of copying `pqGetCopyData3` as `pqHandleCopyData3`, re-implement `PQgetCopyData` on top of the callback-based API, now renamed to `pqGetCopyData3`. Use `fwrite` instead of `printf` so we don't need zero-terminated strings.

The new function,
PQhandleCopyData, reduces CPU usage to lessthan half of what
PQgetCopyDatauses.The disadvantage is that it breaks with existing libpq API style.
