ShreddingState constructor became infallible some time ago, and it changed to impl From instead of TryFrom at the same time. But this example kept working because of a blanket impl TryFrom in rust that leverages From under the hood.

Which issue does this PR close?
Struct#8336Rationale for this change
While working on #8438, I noticed that the enum variants of
ShreddingStateactually made the code (a lot) more complex than if I just referenced the (optional) value and typed_value columns directly. That made me wonder ifShreddingStatewould be better as a simple two-field struct.What changes are included in this PR?
Change
ShreddingStateto a two-field struct and update the few call sites that noticed.While we're at it, improve the docs about how shredding works.
Are these changes tested?
Existing tests cover what is mostly an internal change
Are there any user-facing changes?
ShreddingStateis pub and changed from enum to struct.
