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.
