pgsql: Fix parallel operations that prevent oldest xmin from advancing.

Fix parallel operations that prevent oldest xmin from advancing.

While determining xid horizons, we skip over backends that are running
Vacuum. We also ignore Create Index Concurrently, or Reindex Concurrently
for the purposes of computing Xmin for Vacuum. But we were not setting the
flags corresponding to these operations when they are performed in
parallel which was preventing Xid horizon from advancing.

The optimization related to skipping Create Index Concurrently, or Reindex
Concurrently operations was implemented in PG-14 but the fix is the same
for the Parallel Vacuum as well so back-patched till PG-13.
