Previously, running REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) on a materialized view failed with a confusing "has no identity index" error. REPACK (CONCURRENTLY) replays changes decoded from WAL, but a materialized view produces none, since it cannot be modified by DML and REFRESH rewrites it through a transient heap that is not logically decoded. Fix this by reporting a clear error for materialized views upfront, alongside the existing checks for system catalogs and TOAST tables, and document the limitation.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
