Thanks!

Attached patch fixes the doc, but I'm wondering perhaps it might be 
better to modify the codes to prohibit abbreviation of the value.

When seeing the query which abbreviates ON_ERROR value, I feel it's not 
obvious what happens compared to other options which tolerates 
abbreviation of the value such as FREEZE or HEADER.

   COPY t1 FROM stdin WITH (ON_ERROR);

What do you think?
