doc: Update REPACK-related table rewrite documentation

Adding REPACK introduced table-rewrite behavior that overlaps with
VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER, but some documentation still mentioned only one
of these commands or described the progress and locking behavior
imprecisely.

Clarify that table-rewriting operations, including REPACK, can change
CTIDs.  Also describe VACUUM FULL, CLUSTER, and REPACK consistently as
table-rewriting operations for disk-space recovery where appropriate,
document the pg_stat_progress_repack and compatibility
pg_stat_progress_cluster views consistently, and clarify the ACCESS
EXCLUSIVE locking behavior of REPACK, including CONCURRENTLY.

Backpatch to v19, where REPACK was introduced.
