We mustn't force parallel mode if the query has any subplans, since
ExecSerializePlan doesn't transmit them to workers. Testing
top_plan->initPlan is inadequate because (1) there might be initPlans
attached to lower plan nodes, and (2) non-initPlan subplans don't
work either. There's certainly room for improvement in those
restrictions, but for the moment that's what we've got.

* actually a safe thing to do. (Note: we assume adding a Material node
* above did not change the parallel safety of the plan, so we can still
* rely on best_path->parallel_safe. However, that flag doesn't account
- * for initPlans, which render the plan parallel-unsafe.)
+ * for subplans, which we are unable to transmit to workers presently.)
