My main comment about the current patch is that it looks like it's
touching pg_restore parallel code by moving some stuff into parallel.c.
If that's really the case and its voluminous, maybe this patch would
shrink a bit if we could do the code moving in a first patch.  That
would be mostly mechanical.  Then the interesting stuff would apply on
top of that.  That would make review easier.
