Description
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/pull/6447
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/pull/6440
- Both packed/unpacked data should be accepted during parsing
- Without specifying, encoding should follow the default behavior (unpacked for proto2 and packed for proto3)
- When specified in field option, encoding should respect that.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked pull requests #6447 and #6440, then locate the binary conformance test covering repeated fields. Verify parsing accepts both packed and unpacked data, and check that encoding follows proto2/proto3 defaults or the explicit field option. Done means the conformance test covers all three behaviors.
