When a partition is deleted from a table containing multiple partitions of the same type, filling the resulting partition-number gap can place a new partition before an existing partition matched to an earlier definition. This changes definition matching on the next invocation and breaks idempotency. Keep new partitions after existing partitions of the same type. If no partition table slot is available after them, fall back to the first unused slot. Which existing partition is matched to which definition is still determined by partition type and partition number order, as documented, and is unchanged by this. Fixes #43449
