Module position_delete_writer 

This module provides PositionDeleteFileWriter.

A position delete file has two required columns: file_path (string, field id RESERVED_FIELD_ID_DELETE_FILE_PATH) and pos (long, field id RESERVED_FIELD_ID_DELETE_FILE_POS). The spec also allows an optional row column that inlines the deleted row’s values; this writer does not support it yet, so batches must contain only the two required columns. The writer takes batches already shaped as those two columns (see position_delete_schema) and sets DataContentType::PositionDeletes on the output. It does not sort its input; see PositionDeleteFileWriter::write.

Position delete files are a v2 construct. v3 replaces them with deletion vectors and forbids adding new position delete files, so callers must not route v3 writes here. This base writer has no format-version gate by design; that gating belongs at the transaction/commit layer.
