I don't think that change is correct. The worker_spi essentially shows
how to start bg workers with RegisterBackgroundWorker and dynamic bg
workers with RegisterDynamicBackgroundWorker. If
shared_preload_libraries = worker_spi not specified in there, you will
miss to start RegisterBackgroundWorkers. Is giving an initidb time
database name to worker_spi.database work there? If the database for
bg workers doesn't exist, changing bgw_restart_time from
BGW_NEVER_RESTART to say 1 will help to see bg workers coming up
eventually.

I think it's worth adding test cases for the expected number of bg
workers (after creating worker_spi extension) and dynamic bg workers
(after calling worker_spi_launch()). Also, to distinguish bg workers
and dynamic bg workers, you can change
bgw_type in worker_spi_launch to "worker_spi dynamic worker".

-    /* get the configuration */
+    /* Get the configuration */

-    /* set up common data for all our workers */
+    /* Set up common data for all our workers */

These unrelated changes better be there as-is. Because, the postgres
code has both commenting styles /* Get .... */ or /* get ....*/, IOW,
single line comments starting with both uppercase and lowercase.
