The previous default bgworker_die() signal would exit with elog(FATAL) directly from the signal handler. That could cause deadlocks or crashes if the signal handler runs while we're e.g holding a spinlock or in the middle of a memory allocation. All the built-in background workers overrode that to use the normal die() handler and CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(). Let's make that the default for all background workers. Some extensions relying on the old behavior might need to adapt, but the new default is much safer and is the right thing to do for most background workers.
