Fix mistaken failure to allow parallelism in corner case.

If we try to run a parallel plan in serial mode because, for example,
it's going to be scanned via a cursor, but for some reason we're
already in parallel mode (for example because an outer query is
running in parallel), we'd incorrectly try to launch workers.
Fix by adding a flag to the EState, so that we can be certain that
ExecutePlan() and ExecGather()/ExecGatherMerge() will have the same
idea about whether we are executing serially or in parallel.

Report and fix by Amit Kapila with help from Kuntal Ghosh. A few
tweaks by me.

You can't insert fields into the middle of a widely-known struct
in the back branches. In v10, this broke ABI compatibility for
any extension touching estate->es_query_dsa, which seems unlikely
to be the empty set.
