Add appropriately ifdef'd hack to make ARM compiler allocate ItemPointerData

Browse Source 
as six bytes not eight.  This fixes a regression test failure but more
importantly avoids wasting four bytes of pad space in every tuple header.
Also add some commentary about what's going on.

/*
* ItemPointer:
*
* this is a pointer to an item on another disk page in the same file.
* This is a pointer to an item within a disk page of a known file
* (for example, a cross-link from an index to its parent table).
* blkid tells us which block, posid tells us which entry in the linp
* (ItemIdData) array we want.
*
* Note: because there is an item pointer in each tuple header and index
* tuple header on disk, it's very important not to waste space with
* structure padding bytes. The struct is designed to be six bytes long
* (it contains three int16 fields) but a few compilers will pad it to
* eight bytes unless coerced. We apply appropriate persuasion where
* possible, and to cope with unpersuadable compilers, we try to use
* "SizeOfIptrData" rather than "sizeof(ItemPointerData)" when computing
* on-disk sizes.
