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.

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.

Buildings from ways and multipolygons are loaded in table `osm_building_polygon`. But a table for `osm_building_multipolygon` is also loaded, the content is not used except to ensure an `osm_id` is from a multipolygon. To check if the object is from a multipolygon we have only to check if `osm_id` is negative. It is the counter part of e0c8ece375/layers/building/building.sql (L89)
I checked the objects are the same after this change.
Minor code cleanup:
SQL already returns NULL in the "WHEN" condition
if it is not matched by any of the cases.

* Add better support for 3d buildings
Change key from "levels" to "building:levels" as the "levels" key is non-standard and sees much less use than "building:levels"
* Fix typo in sql definition and missing render_min_height
* Add render_height and min_height to building.yaml
* Simplify the render, switch numeric to int.
Assume min_height cannot be negative. There are a few examples in overpass, but can't show below ground anyways in mapbox (https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/3456). Also don't attempt to fix min_height>height
* Remove colour as it is not currently used
