MDEV-5289: master server starts slave parallel threads

Delay spawning parallel replication worker threads until a slave SQL
thread is running, and de-spawn them when the last SQL thread stops.

This is especially useful to avoid needless threads on a master in a
setup where same my.cnf is used on masters and slaves.
