Hello,

I've been biten by psql's \copy lack of variable expansion, in a limited-access 
docker-inside-VM context where COPY is not a viable option and hardwired names 
are not desirable. The attached patch allows \copy to use variable's values in 
place of table and file names:

```psql
\set table 'some table'
\set input 'some file name.csv'
\copy :"table" from :'input' with (format csv)
```
