Add optimizer and executor support for parallel index-only scans.
Commit 5262f7a4fc44f651241d2ff1fa688dd664a34874 added similar support
for parallel index scans; this extends that work to index-only scans.
As with parallel index scans, this requires support from the index AM,
so currently parallel index-only scans will only be possible for btree
indexes.
