Reducing the assumed alignment of struct varlena means that the compiler

is also licensed to put a local variable declared that way at an unaligned
address.  Which will not work if the variable is then manipulated with
SET_VARSIZE or other macros that assume alignment.  So the previous patch
is not an unalloyed good, but on balance I think it's still a win, since
we have very few places that do that sort of thing.  Fix the one place in
tuptoaster.c that does it.  Per buildfarm results from gypsy_moth
(I'm a bit surprised that only one machine showed a failure).
