Add GUC to show EXEC_BACKEND state

There is no straightforward way to determine if a cluster is running
in EXEC_BACKEND mode or not, which is useful for tests to know. This
adds a GUC debug_exec_backend similar to debug_assertions which will
be true when the server is running in EXEC_BACKEND mode.
