Robert Haas 61c2e1a95f Improve access to parallel query from procedural languages.
In SQL, the ability to use parallel query was previous contingent on
fcache->readonly_func, which is only set for non-volatile functions;
but the volatility of a function has no bearing on whether queries
inside it can use parallelism.  Remove that condition.

SPI_execute and SPI_execute_with_args always run the plan just once,
though not necessarily to completion.  Given the changes in commit
691b8d5928, it's sensible to pass
CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK here, so do that.  This improves access to
parallelism for any caller that uses these functions to execute
queries.  Such callers include plperl, plpython, pltcl, and plpgsql,
though it's not the case that they all use these functions
exclusively.

In plpgsql, allow parallel query for plain SELECT queries (as
opposed to PERFORM, which already worked) and for plain expressions
(which probably won't go through the executor at all, because they
will likely be simple expressions, but if they do then this helps).

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:

	http://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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
