amcheck: Reword some messages and fix an alignment problem.

We don't need to mention the attribute number in these messages, because
there's a dedicated column for that, but we should mention the toast
value ID, because that's really useful for any follow-up troubleshooting
the user wants to do. This also rewords some of the messages to hopefully
read a little better.

Also, use VARATT_EXTERNAL_GET_POINTER in case we're accessing a TOAST
pointer that isn't aligned on a platform that's fussy about alignment,
so that we don't crash while corruption-checking the user's data.
