Two nits on the new toasttest block:

The `SELECT count(*) FROM :reltoastname` assertion is a bit brittle
for `STORAGE EXTENDED`: depending on the toast compression method /
effectiveness, the value may end up as >1 chunk, which would flip the
expected count(*) = 1. Prefer SELECT count(DISTINCT chunk_id) FROM
:reltoastname (or WHERE chunk_seq = 0) and adjust expected.

pg_column_compression() expects pglz, but default_toast_compression
isn’t pinned here. Suggest SET default_toast_compression = 'pglz';
near this block; otherwise this can fail on builds with a different
default.
