Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID.
Parallel workers failed after a sequence like BEGIN; CREATE USER foo; SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION foo; because check_session_authorization could not see the uncommitted pg_authid row for "foo". This is because we ran RestoreGUCState() in a separate transaction using an ordinary just-created snapshot. The same disease afflicts any other GUC that requires catalog lookups and isn't forgiving about the lookups failing. To fix, postpone RestoreGUCState() into the worker's main transaction after we've set up a snapshot duplicating the leader's. This affects check_transaction_isolation and check_transaction_deferrable, which think they should only run during transaction start. Make them act like check_transaction_read_only, which already knows it should silently accept the value when InitializingParallelWorker. Per bug #18545 from Andrey Rachitskiy. Back-patch to all supported branches, because this has been wrong for awhile. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18545-feba138862f19aaa@postgresql.org
