doc: Mention BRIN indexes support parallel builds

Two places in the documentation suggest B-tree is the only index access method allowing parallel builds. Commit b437571 added parallel builds for BRIN too, but failed to update the docs. So fix that, and backpatch to 17, where parallel BRIN builds were introduced.
