Add regression test for short varlenas saved in TOAST relations

toast_save_datum() has for a very long time some code able to handle
short varlenas (values up to 126 bytes reduced to a 1-byte header),
converting such varlenas to an external on-disk TOAST pointer with the
value saved uncompressed in the secondary TOAST relation.

There was zero coverage for this code path.  This commit adds a test
able to exercise it, relying on two external attributes, one with a low
toast_tuple_target, so as it is possible to trigger the threshold for
the insertion of short varlenas into the TOAST relation.
