Hm. That does not speak well for the coverage of the "run the regression
tests with force_parallel_mode enabled" testing approach.

Yeah, fixed. I had assumed that the existing coding in create_gather_plan
was OK, because it looked like it was right for a non-projecting node.
But actually Gather can project (why though?), so it's not right.

I think this is the correct fix.
