    Support parallel bitmap heap scans. · f35742cc
    Robert Haas authored
    The index is scanned by a single process, but then all cooperating
    processes can iterate jointly over the resulting set of heap blocks.
    In the future, we might also want to support using a parallel bitmap
    index scan to set up for a parallel bitmap heap scan, but that's a
    job for another day.
    
    Dilip Kumar, with some corrections and cosmetic changes by me.  The
    larger patch set of which this is a part has been reviewed and tested
    by (at least) Andres Freund, Amit Khandekar, Tushar Ahuja, Rafia
    Sabih, Haribabu Kommi, Thomas Munro, and me.
