The buildfarm members that are running force_parallel_mode = regress
are not happy with this.  Apparently, even a trivial SELECT 
can be turned into a Gather plan if force_parallel_mode says so.

I assume (haven't looked) that I could hack the plpgsql code to prevent
generating a parallel plan when it's decided the command is a simple
SELECT.  But I wonder whether that's the right place to fix it.  Does
it ever make sense to parallelize a plan that can't possibly benefit?
IOW I am not sure that we should carry force_parallel_mode this far.
