Amit Kapila f7ae68aacd Don't shut down Gather[Merge] early under Limit.
Revert part of commit 19df1702f5.

Early shutdown was added by that commit so that we could collect
statistics from workers, but unfortunately, it interacted badly with
rescans.  The problem is that we ended up destroying the parallel context
which is required for rescans.  This leads to rescans of a Limit node over
a Gather node to produce unpredictable results as it tries to access
destroyed parallel context.  By reverting the early shutdown code, we
might lose statistics in some cases of Limit over Gather [Merge], but that
will require further study to fix.

PostgreSQL tests
================

This directory contains a variety of test infrastructure as well as some of the
tests in PostgreSQL. Not all tests are here -- in particular, there are more in
individual contrib/ modules and in src/bin.

Not all these tests get run by "make check". Check src/test/Makefile to see
which tests get run automatically.

authentication/
  Tests for authentication

examples/
  Demonstration programs for libpq that double as regression tests via
  "make check"

isolation/
  Tests for concurrent behavior at the SQL level

locale/
  Sanity checks for locale data, encodings, etc

mb/
  Tests for multibyte encoding (UTF-8) support

modules/
  Extensions used only or mainly for test purposes, generally not suitable
  for installing in production databases

perl/
  Infrastructure for Perl-based TAP tests

recovery/
  Test suite for recovery and replication

regress/
  PostgreSQL's main regression test suite, pg_regress

ssl/
  Tests to exercise and verify SSL certificate handling

subscription/
  Tests for logical replication

thread/
  A thread-safety-testing utility used by configure
