Fix potential memory leakage from HandleParallelMessages().
HandleParallelMessages leaked memory into the caller's context. Since it's
called from ProcessInterrupts, there is basically zero certainty as to what
CurrentMemoryContext is, which means we could be leaking into long-lived
contexts. Over the processing of many worker messages that would grow to
be a problem. Things could be even worse than just a leak, if we happened
to service the interrupt while ErrorContext is current: elog.c thinks it
can reset that on its own whim, possibly yanking storage out from under
HandleParallelMessages.
Give HandleParallelMessages its own dedicated context instead, which we can
reset during each call to ensure there's no accumulation of wasted memory.
