On second thought I'd like to propose another option:
execute_foreign_modify because I think this would match the existing
helper functions for updating foreign tables in postgres_fdw.c better,
such as create_foreign_modify, prepare_foreign_modify and
finish_foreign_modify. I don't really think the function name should
contain "one" or "single_row". Like the names of the calling APIs (ie,
ExecForeignInsert, ExecForeignUpdate and ExecForeignDelete), I think
it's OK to omit such words from the function name. Here is an updated
version of the patch. In addition to the naming, I tweaked the function
a little bit to match other functions (mainly variable names), moved it
to the place where the helper functions are defined, fiddled with some
comments, and removed an extra include file that the original patch added.

Best regards,
