    Add missing documentation for argument of amcostestimate()
    
    5262f7a4fc44 have introduced parallel index scan.  In order to estimate the
    number of parallel workers, it adds extra argument to amcostestimate() index
    access method API function.  However, this extra argument was missed in the
    documentation.  This commit fixes that.
