Previously, \g would successfully execute the COPY command, but the target specification if any was ignored, so that the data was always dumped to the regular query output target. This seems like a clear bug, so let's not just fix it but back-patch it. While at it, adjust the documentation for \copy to recommend "COPY ... TO STDOUT \g foo" as a plausible alternative. Back-patch to 9.5. The problem exists much further back, but the code associated with \g was refactored enough in 9.5 that we'd need a significantly different patch for 9.4, and it doesn't seem worth the trouble.
