pg_dump: check for _beginthreadex() failure in parallel dump

ParallelBackupStart() stored _beginthreadex()'s return value as the
worker's thread handle without checking it.  On failure that value is 0,
which would later reach WaitForMultipleObjects() as a null handle, caught
only by an Assert.  The fork() path already calls pg_fatal() when it
fails; do the same for _beginthreadex(), as pgbench does.
