Subject: Change COPY ... ON_ERROR ignore to ON_ERROR ignore_row

Hi,
The option choice of "ignore" in the COPY ON_ERROR clause seems overly
generic. There would seem to be two relevant ways to ignore bad column
input data - drop the entire row or just set the column value to null. I
can see us wanting to provide the set to null option and in any case having
the option name be explicit that it ignores the row seems like a good idea.
