Prior to this change, the current value of the table's PK sequence wasn't transferred to the repacked table's PK sequence. Without that, new rows would be inserted into the repacked table starting with a PK value of 1 (which would likely conflict with existing rows).
This change adds a command during swap to transfer the sequence value from one table to the other. There is also special handling for the edge case of a bigint conversion where the PK sequence has been set to negative (presumably after positive PK values were exhausted); in that case, the sequence is reset to the first positive bigint value not within the integer range, which is 2**31. Note that this edge case won't be handled correctly during a
revert_swap(); addressing that is left as a TODO for later.
