David Rowley af527705ed Adjust design of per-worker parallel seqscan data struct
The design of the data structures which allow storage of the per-worker
memory during parallel seq scans were not ideal. The work done in
56788d215 required an additional data structure to allow workers to
remember the range of pages that had been allocated to them for
processing during a parallel seqscan.  That commit added a void pointer
field to TableScanDescData to allow heapam to store the per-worker
allocation information.  However putting the field there made very little
sense given that we have AM specific structs for that, e.g.
HeapScanDescData.

Here we remove the void pointer field from TableScanDescData and add a
dedicated field for this purpose to HeapScanDescData.

Previously we also allocated memory for this parallel per-worker data for
all scans, regardless if it was a parallel scan or not.  This was just a
wasted allocation for non-parallel scans, so here we make the allocation
conditional on the scan being parallel.

Also, add previously missing pfree() to free the per-worker data in
heap_endscan().

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
