Avoid counting transaction stats for parallel worker cooperating

Amit Kapila · Amit Kapila · commit 7657072e0ccc · 2019-04-10T08:47:39.000+05:30
transaction. The transaction that is initiated by the parallel worker to cooperate with the actual transaction started by the main backend to complete the query execution should not be counted as a separate transaction. The other internal transactions started and committed by the parallel worker are still counted as separate transactions as we that is what we do in other places like autovacuum. This will partially fix the bloat in transaction stats due to additional transactions performed by parallel workers. For a complete fix, we need to decide how we want to show all the transactions that are started internally for various operations and that is a matter of separate patch.
