You are right that such a variable will make it simpler to write tests for
parallel query.  I have implemented such a guc and choose to keep the name
as min_parallel_relation_size.  One thing to note is that in function
create_plain_partial_paths(), curently it is using PG_INT32_MAX/3 for
parallel_threshold to check for overflow, I have changed it to INT_MAX/3 so
as to be consistent with guc.c.  I am not sure if it is advisable to use
PG_INT32_MAX in guc.c as other similar parameters use INT_MAX.
