Subject: [PATCH] Do not check the REPLICATION attribute when running REPACK.

From: Antonin Houska <[email-masked]>

Although REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) uses replication slots, there is no concern
that the slot will leak data of other users because the MAINTAIN privilege on
the table is required anyway. The REPLICATION attribute is also not needed to
prevent REPACK from stealing slots from logical replication, since commit
e76d8c749c introduces a limit on the maximum number of slots used by REPACK.
