Relax transactional restrictions on ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE (redux).

Originally committed as 15bc038f (plus some follow-ups), this was
reverted in 28e07270 due to a problem discovered in parallel
workers.  This new version corrects that problem by sending the
list of uncommitted enum values to parallel workers.

Here follows the original commit message describing the change:

To prevent possibly breaking indexes on enum columns, we must keep
uncommitted enum values from getting stored in tables, unless we
can be sure that any such column is new in the current transaction.

Formerly, we enforced this by disallowing ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE
from being executed at all in a transaction block, unless the target
enum type had been created in the current transaction.  This patch
removes that restriction, and instead insists that an uncommitted enum
value can't be referenced unless it belongs to an enum type created
in the same transaction as the value.  Per discussion, this should be
a bit less onerous.  It does require each function that could possibly
return a new enum value to SQL operations to check this restriction,
but there aren't so many of those that this seems unmaintainable.

* Disallow use of an uncommitted pg_enum tuple.
*
* We need to make sure that uncommitted enum values don't get into indexes.
* If they did, and if we then rolled back the pg_enum addition, we'd have
* broken the index because value comparisons will not work reliably without
* an underlying pg_enum entry. (Note that removal of the heap entry
* containing an enum value is not sufficient to ensure that it doesn't appear
* in upper levels of indexes.) To do this we prevent an uncommitted row from
* being used for any SQL-level purpose. This is stronger than necessary,
* since the value might not be getting inserted into a table or there might
* be no index on its column, but it's easy to enforce centrally.
*
* However, it's okay to allow use of uncommitted values belonging to enum
* types that were themselves created in the same transaction, because then
* any such index would also be new and would go away altogether on rollback.
* We don't implement that fully right now, but we do allow free use of enum
* values created during CREATE TYPE AS ENUM, which are surely of the same
* lifespan as the enum type. (This case is required by "pg_restore -1".)
* Values added by ALTER TYPE ADD VALUE are currently restricted, but could
* be allowed if the enum type could be proven to have been created earlier
* in the same transaction. (Note that comparing tuple xmins would not work
* for that, because the type tuple might have been updated in the current
* transaction. Subtransactions also create hazards to be accounted for.)
