Minor cleanup/code review for "indirect toast" stuff.

Fix some issues I noticed while fooling with an extension to allow an
additional kind of toast pointer. Much of this is just comment
improvement, but there are a couple of actual bugs, which might or might
not be reachable today depending on what can happen during logical
decoding. An example is that toast_flatten_tuple() failed to cover the
possibility of an indirection pointer in its input. Back-patch to 9.4
just in case that is reachable now.

In HEAD, also correct some really minor issues with recent compression
reorganization, such as dangerously underparenthesized macros.

REL9_4_STABLE
