Thread: pgsql: Allow a parallel context to relaunch workers.

Allow a parallel context to relaunch workers.

This may allow some callers to avoid the overhead involved in tearing
down a parallel context and then setting up a new one, which means
releasing the DSM and then allocating and populating a new one.  I
suspect we'll want to revise the Gather node to make use of this new
capability, but even if not it may be useful elsewhere and requires
very little additional code.
