Ok. I propose attached patches, more polished this time. I also
changed toastrel_valueid_exists() to use SnapshotAny, but I don't have any
proofs to claim that's a needed change. But it seems harmless and given the
number of toast related, hard to chase bugs we have seen over the years,
may it's worth making it full proof too.

Thanks,
