In non-text output formats, parallelized aggregates were reporting
"Partial" or "Finalize" as a field named "Operation", which might be all
right in the absence of any context --- but other plan node types use that
field to report SQL-visible semantics, such as Select/Insert/Update/Delete.
So that naming choice didn't seem good to me.  I changed it to "Partial
Mode".

Also, the field did not appear at all for a non-parallelized Agg plan node,
which is contrary to expectation in non-text formats.  We're notionally
producing objects that conform to a schema, so the set of fields for a
given node type and EXPLAIN mode should be well-defined.  I set it up to
fill in "Simple" in such cases.

Other fields that were added for parallel query, namely "Parallel Aware"
and Gather's "Single Copy", had not gotten the word on that point either.
Make them appear always in non-text output.

Also, the latter two fields were nominally producing boolean output, but
were getting it wrong, because bool values shouldn't be quoted in JSON or
YAML.  Somehow we'd not needed an ExplainPropertyBool formatting subroutine
before 9.6; but now we do, so invent it.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
