I was playing around with v5 and I noticed an assertion failure which
I concluded is due to improper setting of ri_usesBulkModify.  You can
reproduce it with these steps.

create extension postgres_fdw;
create server lb foreign data wrapper postgres_fdw ;
create user mapping for current_user server lb;
create table foo (a int, b int) partition by list (a);
create table foo1 (like foo);
create foreign table ffoo1 partition of foo for values in (1) server
lb options (table_name 'foo1');
create table foo2 (like foo);
create foreign table ffoo2 partition of foo for values in (2) server
lb options (table_name 'foo2');
create function print_new_row() returns trigger language plpgsql as $$
begin raise notice '%', new; return new; end; $$;
create trigger ffoo1_br_trig before insert on ffoo1 for each row
execute function print_new_row();
copy foo from stdin csv;
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself, or an EOF signal.

        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.

The problem is that partition ffoo1's BR trigger prevents it from
using multi-insert, but its ResultRelInfo.ri_usesBulkModify is true,
which is copied from its parent.  We should really check the same
things for a partition that CopyFrom() checks for the main target
relation (root parent) when deciding whether to use multi-insert.

However instead of duplicating the same logic to do so in two places
(CopyFrom and ExecInitPartitionInfo), I think it might be a good idea
to refactor the code to decide if multi-insert mode can be used for a
given relation by checking its properties and put it in some place
that both the main target relation and partitions need to invoke.
InitResultRelInfo() seems to be one such place.

Also, it might be a good idea to use ri_usesBulkModify more generally
than only for foreign relations as the patch currently does, because I
can see that it can replace the variable insertMethod in CopyFrom().
Having both insertMethod and ri_usesBulkModify in each ResultRelInfo
seems confusing and bug-prone.

Finally, I suggest renaming ri_usesBulkModify to ri_usesMultiInsert to
reflect its scope.

Please check the attached delta patch that applies on top of v5 to see
what that would look like.
