Postpone generate_gather_paths for topmost scan/join rel.
Don't call generate_gather_paths for the topmost scan/join relation
when it is initially populated with paths. Instead, do the work in
grouping_planner. By itself, this gains nothing; in fact it loses
slightly because we end up calling set_cheapest() for the topmost
scan/join rel twice rather than once. However, it paves the way for
a future commit which will postpone generate_gather_paths for the
topmost scan/join relation even further, allowing more accurate
costing of parallel paths.
