The split between Temptable and Offset query builders was originally introduced in github#471. Then, both query builders have been changed to calculate actual chunk sizes in github#1500.

The updated implementation of the Offset query introduced a bug, where a missing `order by` clause in `select_osc_chunk` can result in end values potentially surpassing the chunk_size. This wasn't detected during our initial testing where the query just returned rows in their original order, but may happen in real-world scenarios in case the db returns data in an undefined order.

An obvious fix would be to just add an `order by` to the Offset builder subquery, however since both builders use temptables now, it makes more sense to simplify and use only one of them.

Alternatively, the builder could only use the less performant count query variants when `--panic-on-warnings` is enabled and otherwise use the simpler ones from pull/471. We decided to not follow this path for now, hoping `--panic-on-warnings` becomes an updated and safer default in the future.

…roblems with --panic-on-warnings (#12)

Problem 1: The split between Temptable and Offset query builders was originally introduced in github#471. Then, both query builders have been changed to calculate actual chunk sizes in github#1500.

The updated implementation of the Offset query introduced a bug, where a missing `order by` clause in `select_osc_chunk` can result in end values potentially surpassing the chunk_size. This wasn't detected during our initial testing where the query just returned rows in their original order, but may happen in real-world scenarios in case the db returns data in an undefined order.

An obvious fix would be to just add an `order by` to the Offset builder subquery. 

Problem 2: Between the execution of `CalculateNextIterationRangeEndValues` and `ApplyIterationInsertQuery` there could be new rows inserted/deleted into the range causing `expectedRowCount` to be inaccurate. With `--panic-on-warnings` this could lead to the migration erroneously panicking.

Changes summary:
- Removed count subqueries from range builders to restore the more performant approach from PR github#471
- Modified panic-on-warnings logic to trigger errors based solely on SQL warnings, not on row count mismatches
- This addresses potential race conditions where row count comparisons could produce false positives due to concurrent table modifications
