I attach 2 patches.

avoid_pin_scan_always.v1.patch
Takes the approach that we generate the same WAL records as in 9.5, we just
choose not to do anything with that information. This is possible because
we don't care anymore whether it is toast or other relations. So it
effectively reverts parts of the earlier patch.
This could be easily back-patched more easily.

toast_recheck.v1.patch
Adds recheck code for toast access. I'm not certain this is necessary, but
here it is. No problems found with it.
