A Gather executor node runs any number of copies of a plan in an equal
number of workers and merges all of the results into a single tuple
stream.  It can also run the plan itself, if the workers are
unavailable or haven't started up yet.  It is intended to work with
the Partial Seq Scan node which will be added in future commits.

It could also be used to implement parallel query of a different sort
by itself, without help from Partial Seq Scan, if the single_copy mode
is used.  In that mode, a worker executes the plan, and the parallel
leader does not, merely collecting the worker's results.  So, a Gather
node could be inserted into a plan to split the execution of that plan
across two processes.  Nested Gather nodes aren't currently supported,
but we might want to add support for that in the future.

There's nothing in the planner to actually generate Gather nodes yet,
so it's not quite time to break out the champagne.  But we're getting
close.

reviewed the patch.  Single-copy mode, documentation, and other minor
changes also by me.
