Parallel capability to layer functions (#728)
This PR allows queries to be parallelized on recent versions of Postgres. The `PARALLEL SAFE` modifier has been added to the layer functions and a PLPGSQL function to convert strings into number has been replaced.

`PARALLEL SAFE` is a modifier for `CREATE FUNCTION` available since Postgres 9.6, so this change does not break current OpenMapTiles supported database version. More details about this topic [here](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/parallel-safety.html) and at the reference documentation for [`CREATE FUNCTION`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createfunction.html).

### Testing procedure

The procedure to test this was:

* Imported `spain.pbf` in a clean environment
* Dumped the OpenMapTiles database from the Postgres Docker image
* Created a clean Postgres 12 database using the default Docker image
* Installed `postgis` 3 from the default Debian package and `osml10n` 2.5.8 from the repository (`make`, etc.)
* Restored the dump
* Lowered the postgres planner parameters for triggering parallel plans:
```sql
set parallel_setup_cost = 5;
set parallel_tuple_cost = 0.005;
```
* Manually added the `PARALLEL SAFE` modifier to each function involved in layer queries (not on updates or inserting functions).
* For each layer, run a testing query to confirm parallel workers were created, something like this:
```sql
explain analyze 
select * from layer_aerodrome_label(tilebbox(8,128,95),10,null)
union all
select * from layer_aerodrome_label(tilebbox(8,128,97),10,null);
```
* After all the layers were processed and confirmed to start parallel executions, a more complete example was run. This example just retrieves the geometries for all the layers from the same tile but without using any MVT related function.

```sql
-- Using the function layer_landuse
explain analyze 
select geometry from layer_water(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_waterway(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_landcover(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_landuse(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_mountain_peak(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_park(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_boundary(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_aeroway(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_transportation(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_building(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_water_name(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_transportation_name(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_place(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_housenumber(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_poi(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14)
union all
select geometry from layer_aerodrome_label(tilebbox(14,8020,6178),14);
```

You can inspect the execution plan and results on [this page](https://explain.dalibo.com/plan/3z). Also [attaching](https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/files/3951822/explain-tile-simple.tar.gz) the query and JSON output for future reference. The website gives a ton of details, but you may want to search for nodes mentioning `workers` or `parallel` like in this area referring to `osm_border` or `osm_aeroway_linestring` entities

### Next steps

Since the execution plan is not showing a parallel append at the top level, meaning it's not running each layer individually, I want to continue experimenting with parameters and queries to see if it's possible to even parallelize more the request.

I will post my finding here, even no change in the code should happen.
