After thinking about it some more: can't we just make the new context
message be
	CONTEXT:  while setting parameter "x" to "y"
full stop?  The outer context line about "parallel worker" should
be enough for that.  As a bonus, if we ever decide that such a
context line would be useful for all GUC errors, we wouldn't need
a different spelling of it for that.

I took a quick look through the patch, and I think it's okay
implementation-wise, though personally I'd have used some less
generic name than "pair" for the variables.
