Description

Today we have ConcatenateTables() and ConcatenateTablesWithPromotion() in C++. It's anticipated that they will allow more customization/tweaking. To avoid complicating the API surface, we should introduce a ConcatenateTableOption object, unify the two functions, and allow further customization to be expressed in that option object.
