8492feb98f6 added support for parallel CREATE INDEX on GIN indexes.
However, previously two places in the documentation and two in the source
code comments still stated that only B-tree and BRIN indexes support
parallel builds.
This commit updates those references to correctly include GIN indexes.

Sets the maximum number of parallel workers that can be
started by a single utility command. Currently, the parallel
utility commands that support the use of parallel workers are
- <command>CREATE INDEX</command> when building a B-tree or BRIN index,
+ <command>CREATE INDEX</command> when building a B-tree,
+ GIN, or BRIN index,
and <command>VACUUM</command> without <literal>FULL</literal>
option. Parallel workers are taken from the pool of processes
established by <xref linkend="guc-max-worker-processes"/>, limited
leveraging multiple CPUs in order to process the table rows faster.
This feature is known as <firstterm>parallel index
build</firstterm>. For index methods that support building indexes
- in parallel (currently, B-tree and BRIN),
+ in parallel (currently, B-tree, GIN, and BRIN),
<varname>maintenance_work_mem</varname> specifies the maximum
amount of memory that can be used by each index build operation as
a whole, regardless of how many worker processes were started.
