Force NO SCROLL for plpgsql's implicit cursors.

Further thought about bug #17050 suggests that it's a good idea
to use CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL for the implicit cursor opened by
a plpgsql FOR-over-query loop.  This ensures that, if somebody
commits inside the loop, PersistHoldablePortal won't try to
rewind and re-read the cursor.  While we'd have selected NO_SCROLL
anyway if FOR UPDATE/SHARE appears in the query, there are other
hazards with volatile functions; and in any case, it's silly to
expend effort storing rows that we know for certain won't be needed.

(While here, improve the comment in exec_run_select, which was a bit
confused about the rationale for when we can use parallel mode.
Cursor operations aren't a hazard for nameless portals.)

This wasn't an issue until v11, which introduced the possibility
of persisting such cursors.  Hence, back-patch to v11.

Per bug #17050 from Алексей Булгаков.
