Subject: [PATCH 3/8] Introduce RepackDest structure.

From: Antonin Houska <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 13:54:16 +0200

This is for ChangeContext to handle insertions into two relations: besides the
new relation (whose file will eventually be used by the REPACKed relation), an
"auxiliary relation" is needed sometimes, in order to get the data sorted. The
concept is introduced and explained later in the patch series.
