Just an update to let list users know that the call to cleangeometry()
did return after a very long time--almost 17 hours for one of my files
and more than a day for another.

There are many possibly kind of invalidity.

If the invalidity is a self-intersect,
of course the ST_MakeValid() could split the polygon on the self-intersect
and produce another multipolygon with one more part.

But if , for example, you multipolygon is invalid because it has a hole of
type Linestring, or because it has two part that are touching along a line.

More probably the st_makevalid could be return a geometrycollection().
