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.

</details>
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.

quicker and cleaner diagram image generation.
Remove etl-graph and mapping-graph targets - redundant
Also, the obsolete "fields" is still in Imposm's code and both names are accepted,
but "fields" is not documented anywhere (PR submitted), and could be removed at any moment.
Our docs were not supporting it until this PR, so renaming it at the same time.
Several images have been updated due to a more inclusive mapping scan
Requires https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles-tools/pull/147 (merged)
Seems like etl and mapping diagrams have been neglected
for a long time. Now it regenerates the files and places
them in the source dir.
This PR also fixes two broken files:
* layers/aerodrome_label/mapping_diagram.png
* layers/housenumber/mapping_diagram.png
They were generated using the newest tools version with the fix
https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles-tools/pull/65
