The attached patch shows per-worker information, besides the
cumulative figure in the end of plan. Attached is the complete output
of an aggregate parallel query on tenk1 table (created using the
regression tests). You can see that the per-worker figures are under
each of the Gather plans.


We can show combined values of all the workers under a Gather plan as
one single value, but I guess if we just show per-worker values, we
don't have to additionally show combined value. Comments ?
Also, I have kept the the per-worker info only for verbose=true.

The Gather plan's leader value is not shown. We also don't show
leader-specific values when we show the usual per-worker
instrumentation values. So I think we are consistent. Actually it is a
bit tedious to collect only leader-specific values. And I don't think
it is worth trying for it. For worker, I am not collecting
per-plan-node info, because we want to show total worker figures, and
not per-plan-node figures. For the normal instrumentations, we want to
show per-node info. For leader-specific instrumentation, we would need
to store per-(Gather-)plan info.

Need to finalize the indentation and the other explain formats. One
option is to keep the per-worker JIT info in a single line, like how
we print the normal per-worker instrumentation :
Worker 1: actual time=20.971..35.975 rows=39991 loops=1


Below is a snippet :

 Aggregate  (cost=18656.00..18656.01 rows=1 width=8) (actual
time=593.917..593.917 rows=1 loops=1)

Not yet done this. Will do now.
