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.

Decouple the values of TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD and TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE.
...
Add the latter to the values checked in pg_control, since it can't be changed
without invalidating toast table content. This commit in itself shouldn't
change any behavior, but it lays some necessary groundwork for experimentation
with these toast-control numbers.
Note: while TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD can now be changed without initdb, some
thought still needs to be given to needs_toast_table() in toasting.c before
unleashing random changes.
