Doc: fix outdated wording about parallel seq scans

56788d21 adjusted the parallel seq scan code so that instead of handing
out a single block at a time to parallel workers, it now hands out ranges
of blocks.

Here we update the documentation which still claimed that workers received
just 1 block at a time.
