Update assorted TOAST-related documentation.
While working on documentation for expanded arrays, I noticed a number of
details in the TOAST-related documentation that were already inaccurate or
obsolete. This should be fixed independently of whether expanded arrays
get in or not. One issue is that the already existing indirect-pointer
facility was not documented at all. Also, the documentation says that you
only need to use VARSIZE/SET_VARSIZE if you've made your variable-length
type TOAST-aware, but actually we've forced that business on all varlena
types even if they've opted out of TOAST by setting storage = plain.
Wordsmith a few other things too, like an amusingly archaic claim that
there are few 64-bit machines.
I thought about back-patching this, but since all this doco is oriented
to hackers and C-coded extension authors, fixing it in HEAD is probably
good enough.
