Unify REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) error messages.

Commit 86f7c82cf102 reported the user catalog table restriction as a
detail, but the other checks in check_concurrent_repack_requirements()
were still a mix: some were hints, and the details repeated
"REPACK (CONCURRENTLY)", which the primary message already names.

Report them as details with the same "This operation ..." wording. The
one actionable hint, ALTER TABLE ... REPLICA IDENTITY USING INDEX,
stays.

Backpatch to v19, where REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) was introduced.
