Defer restoration of libraries in parallel workers.
Several users of extensions complained of crashes in parallel workers
that turned out to be due to syscache access from their _PG_init()
functions. Reorder the initialization of parallel workers so that
libraries are restored after the caches are initialized, and inside a
transaction.
This was reported in bug #15350 and elsewhere. We don't consider it
to be a bug: extensions shouldn't do that, because then they can't be
used in shared_preload_libraries. However, it's a fairly obscure
hazard and these extensions worked in practice before parallel query
came along. So let's make it work. Later commits might add a warning
message and eventually an error.
Back-patch to 9.6, where parallel query landed.
