A simple Background Worker that uses SPI (connected to a local database named postgres) in a transaction.

In order to use this bgworker with pgrx, you'll need to edit the proper postgresql.conf file in "${PGRX_HOME}/data-$PGVER/postgresql.conf" and add this line to the end:

shared_preload_libraries = 'bgworker.so'

Background workers must be initialized in the extension's _PG_init() function, and can only be started if loaded through the shared_preload_libraries configuration setting.
