Fix memory leak in pgstat_progress_parallel_incr_param()
When called from a parallel worker, this function calls initStringInfo()
and pq_beginmessage(), causing a StringInfo allocation to happen twice.
pq_endmessage() frees only the second allocation, with each call leaking
~1 kB into the per-worker memory context. This could cause a few
hundred megabytes worth of memory to pile up until the worker exits (the
message allocations happen in the parallel worker context), with the
situation being worse the longer a parallel worker runs.
Oversight in f1889729dd3.
