Introduce a new GUC force_parallel_mode for testing purposes.

Browse Source 
When force_parallel_mode = true, we enable the parallel mode restrictions
for all queries for which this is believed to be safe.  For the subset of
those queries believed to be safe to run entirely within a worker, we spin
up a worker and run the query there instead of running it in the
original process.  When force_parallel_mode = regress, make additional
changes to allow the regression tests to run cleanly even though parallel
workers have been injected under the hood.

Taken together, this facilitates both better user testing and better
regression testing of the parallelism code.
