sure, executing parallel plans w/o workers seems a bit of a hack. But:
- we already do it this way in some other situations
- the alternative in this special situation would be to _force_ replanning 
without the CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK. The decision for replanning is hidden deep 
within plancache.c and while we could influence it with CURSOR_OPT_CUSTOM_PLAN 
this wouldn't have an effect if the prepared statement doesn't have any 
parameters. Additionally, influencing the decision and generating a 
non-parallel plan would shift the avg cost calculation used to choose custom or 
generic plans.

Maybe someone can come up with a better idea for a solution. These three 
approaches are all I see so far.
