This patch just exposes COPY's FROM PROGRAM option in contrib/file_fdw. There don't seem to be any security issues with that that are any worse than what already exist with file_fdw and COPY; as in the existing cases, only superusers are allowed to control what gets executed. A regression test case might be nice here, but choosing a 100% portable command to run is hard. (We haven't got a test for COPY FROM PROGRAM itself, either.)

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
