Fix REPACK decoding worker not cleaned up on FATAL exit

When the launching backend of REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) is terminated via
pg_terminate_backend(), ProcDiePending causes ereport(FATAL) which
bypasses PG_FINALLY blocks.  As a result, stop_repack_decoding_worker()
is never called, leaving the decoding worker running indefinitely and
holding its temporary replication slot.

Fix by using PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP, which handles both ERROR and
FATAL exits.
