Posting an updated set of patches to address recent feedback:

- Removed conditional-locking code used in parallel-safety checking
code (Tsunakawa-san feedback). It turns out that for the problem test
case, no parallel-safety checking should be occurring that locks
relations because those inserts are specifying VALUES, not an
underlying SELECT, so the parallel-safety checking code was updated to
bail out early if no underlying SELECT is specified for the INSERT. No
change to the test code was required.
- Added comment to better explain the reason for treating "INSERT ...
ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE" as parallel-unsafe (Dilip)
- Added assertion to heap_prepare_insert() (Amit)
- Updated error handling for NULL index_expr_item case (Vignesh)
