Peter Geoghegan b5ee4e5202 Avoid nbtree parallel scan currPos confusion.
Commit 1bd4bc85, which refactored nbtree sibling link traversal, made
_bt_parallel_seize reset the scan's currPos so that things were
consistent with the state of a serial backend moving between pages.
This overlooked the fact that _bt_readnextpage relied on the existing
currPos state to decide when to end the scan -- even though it came from
before the scan was seized.  As a result of all this, parallel nbtree
scans could needlessly behave like full index scans.

To fix, teach _bt_readnextpage to explicitly allow the use of an already
read page's so->currPos when deciding whether to end the scan -- even
during parallel index scans (allow it consistently now).  This requires
moving _bt_readnextpage's seizure of the scan to earlier in its loop.
That way _bt_readnextpage either deals with the true so->currPos state,
or an initialized-by-_bt_parallel_seize currPos state set from when the
scan was seized.  Now _bt_steppage (the most important _bt_readnextpage
caller) takes the same uniform approach to setting up its call using
details taken from so->currPos -- regardless of whether the scan happens
to be parallel or serial.

The new loop structure in _bt_readnextpage is prone to getting confused
by P_NONE blknos set when the rightmost or leftmost page was reached.
We could avoid that by adding an explicit check, but that would be ugly.
Avoid this problem by teaching _bt_parallel_seize to end the parallel
scan instead of returning a P_NONE next block/blkno.  Doing things this
way was arguably a missed opportunity for commit 1bd4bc85.  It allows us
to remove a similar "blkno == P_NONE" check from _bt_first.

Oversight in commit 1bd4bc85, which refactored sibling link traversal
(as part of optimizing nbtree backward scan locking).
