Fix datumSerialize infrastructure to not crash on non-varlena data.
Commit 1efc7e538 did a poor job of emulating existing logic for touching Datums that might be expanded-object pointers. It didn't check for typlen being -1 first, which meant it could crash on fixed-length pass-by-ref values, and probably on cstring values as well. It also didn't use DatumGetPointer before VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_EXPANDED, which while currently harmless is not according to documentation nor prevailing style. I also think the lack of any explanation as to why datumSerialize makes these particular nonobvious choices is pretty awful, so fix that. Per report from Jarred Ward. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6F61E6D2-2F5E-4794-9479-A429BE1CEA4B@simple.com
