Looking at explain.c for "num_workers; " (including the final space at
the end), looking at each for loop that loops over each worker, quite
a number of those locations have a condition that skips the worker.
For example, show_sort_info() does
if (sinstrument->sortMethod == SORT_TYPE_STILL_IN_PROGRESS)
continue; /* ignore any unfilled slots */
So maybe Hash Agg should be doing something similar. Additionally,
maybe it should not show the leader details if the leader didn't help.
