Here's a proposed patch for this.  It removes the hacking of the TOC list
order, solving Peter's original problem, and instead sorts-by-size
in the actual parallel dump or restore control code.  There are a
number of ensuing performance benefits:

* The BLOBS entry, if any, gets to participate in the ordering decision
during parallel dumps.  As the code stands, all the effort to avoid
scheduling a long job last is utterly wasted if you've got a lot of
blobs, because that entry stayed at the end.  I didn't work real hard
on that, just gave it a large size so it would go first not last.  If
you just have a few blobs, that's not necessary, but I doubt it hurts
either.

* During restore, we insert actual size numbers into the BLOBS and
TABLE DATA items, and then anything that depends on a TABLE DATA item
inherits its size.  This results in size-based prioritization not just
for simple indexes as before, but also for constraint indexes (UNIQUE
or PRIMARY KEY), foreign key verifications, delayed CHECK constraints,
etc.  It also means that stuff like triggers and rules get reinstalled
in size-based order, which doesn't really help, but again I don't
think it hurts.

* Parallel restore scheduling by size works for custom dumps as well
as directory ones (as long as the dump file was seekable when created,
but you'll be hurting anyway if it wasn't).

I have not really tried to demonstrate performance benefits, because
the results would depend a whole lot on your test case; but at least
in principle this should result in far more intelligent scheduling
of parallel restores.

While I haven't done so here, I'm rather tempted to rename the
par_prev/par_next fields and par_list_xxx functions to pending_prev,
pending_next, pending_list_xxx, since they now have only one use.
(BTW, I tried really hard to get rid of par_prev/par_next altogether,
in favor of keeping the pending entries in the unused space in the
"ready" TocEntry* array.  But it didn't work out well --- seems like
a list really is the natural data structure for that.)
