Use DuckDB native COPY for COPY FROM STDIN performance

Replace row-by-row INSERT with DuckDB's native COPY FROM file:
- Write incoming COPY data to temp file
- Execute COPY table FROM 'tempfile' (FORMAT CSV, ...)
- Delete temp file after completion

Performance improvement: ~1M rows/sec vs ~100-1000 rows/sec

Also adds comprehensive logging for debugging:
- Data receipt progress (every 10k messages)
- Temp file write timing
- DuckDB COPY execution timing
- Total operation timing
