pgsql: Consider parallel awareness when removing single-child Appends

Consider parallel awareness when removing single-child Appends

8edd0e794 added some code to remove Append and MergeAppend nodes when they
contained a single child node.  As it turned out, this was unsafe to do
when the Append/MergeAppend was parallel_aware and the child node was not.
Removing the Append/MergeAppend, in this case, could lead to the child plan
being called multiple times by parallel workers when it was unsafe to do
so.

Here we fix this by just not removing the Append/MergeAppend when the
parallel_aware flag of the parent and child node don't match.
