Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
Add a mode that outputs selection vectors (for now let's use dense boolean arrays so it can be added to RecordBatch) in RepartitionExec. The array outputs true for each row that has hash % total_partition == current_partition (and false if not).

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating RepartitionExec and reading how it currently computes partition assignments and produces RecordBatch output. Trace the existing hash and partitioning path, then identify the relevant tests or add coverage for dense boolean selection vectors; done means each row is true only for its assigned partition and the vectors are available in the output batch.
