I haven't spent a lot of time looking through the code and your patch
but I'm wondering why we're not rather missing a
ExecBitmapIndexScanInstrumentEstimate(), rather than calling
ExecBitmapIndexScanEstimate() also in the !parallel_aware case. All
other scans do it this way, so why do it differently for Bitmap Index Scan?
