Subject: Parallel executor support.

This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up
parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed
in the master.  User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed
down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not.  Various other constructs,
such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared.
Nevertheless, there's enough here to support a basic implementation of
parallel query, and we can lift some of the current restrictions as
needed.
