From 3e23b68dac006e8deb0afa327e855258df8de064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Support varlena fields with single-byte headers and unaligned
 storage.

This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple
(without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields.  While all available
regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and
cranny, especially in contrib.

Greg Stark with some help from Tom Lane
