Nothing is to be gained from using pgrepack outside of REPACK
(CONCURRENTLY), and it leads to assertion failures in assertion-enabled
builds, and to crashes due to bogus memory lifetime in production
builds. Reject attempts to do that with a clean error report.
Clean up the nearby code a tad while at it. The only functional changes
in that are that the output_writer_private context is allocated and
partially filled by the pgrepack output plugin; and that ->relid therein
is now always present (rather than only in assertion-enabled builds).
Other than that it's just minor code rearrangement and added comments.

The coverage report shows that some error cases were not being tested;
add test cases for them.
While at it, move some recently added ones to the test_decoding suite:
the preventative check added in 43649b6a53 now causes servers with
wal_level=minimal to error out earlier than before.

Commit 28d534e2ae introduced reform_tuple() with a fast path that
returns the source tuple verbatim when no dropped columns require fixing
up. I (Álvaro) failed to realize that this broke handling of columns
with a 'missingval' defined: after a VACUUM FULL, CLUSTER, or REPACK
operation, the catalogued missingval is thrown away, so the tuples are
no longer correct.
Fix by forcing the rewrite when the tuple is shorter than the tuple
descriptor.

These tests sometimes run with wal_level=minimal, which does not allow
to run REPACK (CONCURRENTLY). Move them to test_decoding, which is
ensured to run with high enough wal_level.
