Let's be a maximum simple and consistent with surrounding descriptions
here and what we have for pg_stat_activity, say:
"Process ID of the parallel group leader, if this process is a
parallel query worker."

It seems to me we should document here that the check on MyProcPid
ensures that this only prints the leader PID only for parallel workers
and discards the leader.

Same here.

Except for those nits, I have tested the patch and things behave as we
want (including padding and docs), so this looks good to me.
