RE: multiple sessions to create index in parallel support

Sorry for confusion. This time, I add "max_parallel_workers"=32 , "max_parallel_maintenance_workers"=32 ,
"max_workers_process"=64to postgresql.conf, and restart database.  This time, both session runs in parallel now.   Last
severaltests only got these parameter changes by  set max_parallell_workers...  in session level , for each session ,
only1 session parallel creating index.

All max_workers_process got increased to 32 before creating index.  The 2 session try to create index on totally
separatelarge tables(40gb) , either one in 8 parallel workers, but not both.

Evenincrease max_parallel_worers and max_parallel_maintenance_workers to 64, still show one is parallel 8 workers, the
otheris done in serial. 

Hmm, what about max_worker_processes ?  That's an independent limit.
