Subscripting implementation for jsonb. For the sake of code reuse, some

functions for jsonb_set and assign subscripting operation.

I did not review the patch in detail yet, but +1 to the idea. 
It's not just thousands of tables that suffer from this.
If a user has a few large tables hogging the autovac workers, then other
tables don't get the autovac cycles they require. Users are then forced
to run manual vacuums, which adds complexity to their operations.

max_worker_processes defines a pool of max # of background workers allowed.
parallel workers and extensions that spin  up background workers all utilize from 
this pool. 

Should autovacuum_max_workers be able to utilize from max_worker_processes also?

This will allow autovacuum_max_workers to be dynamic while the user only has
to deal with an already existing GUC. We may want to increase the default value
for max_worker_processes as part of this.

My concern with this approach is that other background workers could use up
all the slots and prevent autovacuum workers from starting, unless of
course we reserve autovacuum_max_workers slots for _only_ autovacuum
workers.  I'm not sure if we want to get these parameters tangled up like
this, though...

I see that the logical replication launcher process uses this pool, but we
take special care to make sure it gets a slot:

	/*
	 * Register the apply launcher.  It's probably a good idea to call this
	 * before any modules had a chance to take the background worker slots.
	 */
	ApplyLauncherRegister();

I'm not sure there's another way to effectively reserve slots that would
work for the autovacuum workers (which need to restart to connect to
different databases), so that would need to be invented.  We'd probably
also want to fail startup if autovacuum_max_workers < max_worker_processes,
which seems like it has the potential to cause problems when folks first
upgrade to v18.

Furthermore, we might have to convert autovacuum workers to background
worker processes for this to work.  I've admittedly wondered about whether
we should do that eventually, anyway, but it'd expand the scope of this
work quite a bit.

That's a good point, the current settings do not guarantee that you
get a worker for the purpose if none are available, 
i.e. max_parallel_workers_per_gather, you may have 2 workers planned 
and 0 launched.

This will be confusing to describe and we will be reserving autovac workers
implicitly, rather than explicitly with a new GUC.

Yeah, that's probably a good reason to give autovacuum its own worker pool.
