Allow RTE_SUBQUERY rels to be considered parallel-safe.

There isn't really any reason not to; the original comments here were
partly confused about subplans versus subquery-in-FROM, and partly
dependent on restrictions that no longer apply now that subqueries return
Paths not Plans.  Depending on what's inside the subquery, it might fail
to produce any parallel_safe Paths, but that's fine.

* consider_parallel based on the rel's own quals and targetlist,
* so that if a subquery path is parallel-safe but the quals and
* projection we're sticking onto it are not, we correctly mark
* the SubqueryScanPath as not parallel-safe. (Note that

* into the subquery itself, but that doesn't change anything.)
