Make sequential scans parallel-aware.

In addition, this path fills in a number of missing bits and pieces in
the parallel infrastructure.  Paths and plans now have a parallel_aware
flag indicating whether whatever parallel-aware logic they have should
be engaged.  It is believed that we will need this flag for a number of
path/plan types, not just sequential scans, which is why the flag is
generic rather than part of the SeqScan structures specifically.
Also, execParallel.c now gives parallel nodes a chance to initialize
their PlanState nodes from the DSM during parallel worker startup.

Amit Kapila, with a fair amount of adjustment by me.  Review of previous
patch versions by Haribabu Kommi and others.
