When created in the catalog, parquet files should always have compaction
level 0. Updating the compaction level should always happen in the
compactor.
Only the catalog should need to know about the initial compaction level
value.
This has the advantages of:
- Not needing to create fake parquet file IDs or fake deleted_at
values that aren't used by create before insertion
- Not needing too many arguments for create
- Naming the arguments so it's easier to see what value is what
argument, especially in tests
- Easier to reuse arguments or parts of arguments by using copies of
params, which makes it easier to see differences, especially in tests
