Revert "Allow parallel workers to cope with a newly-created session user ID."

This reverts commit f5f30c2.

Some buildfarm animals are failing with "cannot change
"client_encoding" during a parallel operation".  It looks like
assign_client_encoding is unhappy at being asked to roll back a
client_encoding setting after a parallel worker encounters a
failure.  There must be more to it though: why didn't I see this
during local testing?  In any case, it's clear that moving the
RestoreGUCState() call is not as side-effect-free as I thought.
Given that the bug f5f30c2 intended to fix has gone unreported
for years, it's not something that's urgent to fix; I'm not
willing to risk messing with it further with only days to our
next release wrap.
