doc: Mention that toast_tuple_target affects also column marked as Main.
Previously it was documented that toast_tuple_target affected column marked as only External or Extended. But this description is not correct and toast_tuple_target affects also column marked as Main. Back-patch to v11 where toast_tuple_target reloption was introduced.

The toast_tuple_target specifies the minimum tuple length required before
- we try to move long column values into TOAST tables, and is also the
- target length we try to reduce the length below once toasting begins.
- This only affects columns marked as either External or Extended
- and applies only to new tuples - there is no effect on existing rows.

By default this parameter is set to allow at least 4 tuples per block,
which with the default blocksize will be 2040 bytes. Valid values are
between 128 bytes and the (blocksize - header), by default 8160 bytes.
