This part looks a bit hacky and this is needed because we don't have a
list of objects when doing a non-parallel system or database reindex.
The deal is that we just want a list with one element: the database of
the connection. Wouldn't it be more natural to assign the database
name here using PQdb(conn)? Then add an assertion at the top of
run_reindex_command() checking for a non-NULL name?

Okay. This is a tad wider than the original patch proposal, and this
adds two lines. So let's discard that for now and keep it simple.

The two tests for "reindexdb -j2" can be combined into a single call,
checking for both commands to be generated in the same output. The
second command triggering a reindex on two schemas cannot be used to
check for the generation of both s1.t1 and s2.t2 as the ordering may
not be guaranteed. The commands arrays also looked inconsistent with
the rest. Attached is an updated patch with some format modifications
and the fixes for the tests.
