docs: Update TOAST storage docs for configurable compression.
Mention that there are multiple TOAST compression methods and that thecompression method used is stored in a TOAST pointer along with theother information that was stored there previously. Add a reference tothe documentation for default_toast_compression, where the supportedmethods are listed, instead of duplicating that here.I haven't tried to preserve the text claiming that pglz is "fairlysimple and very fast." I have no view on the veracity of the formerclaim, but LZ4 seems to be faster (and to compress better) so itseems better not to muddy the waters by talking about compressionspeed as a strong point of PGLZ.Patch by me, reviewed by Justin Pryzby.Discussion:http://postgr.es/m/CA+Tgmoaw_YBwQhOS_hhEPPwFhfAnu+VCLs18EfGr9gQw1z4H-w@mail.gmail.com
