I don't see any (at least that are EXPLAINed).  Wondering if we should
add some of these into join_hash.sql, but probably not before I figure
out how to make that whole file run faster...

I tried the original example from the top of this thread and saw a
decent speedup from parallelism, but only if I set
min_parallel_table_scan_size=0, and otherwise it doesn't choose
Parallel Hash Right Anti Join.  Same if I embiggen bar significantly.
Haven't looked yet but I wonder if there is some left/right confusion
on parallel degree computation or something like that...
