Yeah, I also have some concerns regarding the noise that this could
produce if called on a foreign table on a regular basis.  The verbose
mode is disabled by default so I don't see why we should not allow it
if the relation owner wants to show it.

Perhaps we should first do a silence mode for log_verbosity to skip
the NOTICE produced at the end of the COPY FROM summarizing the whole?
It would be confusing to have different defaults between COPY and
file_fdw, but having the option to silence that completely is also
appealing from the user point of view.

Interesting idea linked to the idea of pushing the error state to
something else than the logs.  Sounds like a separate feature.

I am not sure about allowing scans to force an option to be a
different thing at runtime vs what's been defined in the relation
itself with CREATE/ALTER.
