Proxy for SQL command COPY TO,
Converts selected rasters to specified raster_format with output sent either to 
single hex-based plain text file or one or more binary files in raster_format,
one raster binary file per tuple from the raster table.
The BIN output uses HEX output as intermediate stage.
raster_format - TIFF|JPEG|PNG
output_format - HEX|BIN; BIN is a binary file in raster_format
sep - if output_format=HEX, separates rid value from hex-encoded binary.
