Add missing documentation for argument of amcostestimate()
5262f7a4fc44 have introduced parallel index scan. In order to estimate the number of parallel workers, it adds extra argument to amcostestimate() index access method API function. However, this extra argument was missed in the documentation. This commit fixes that.
