Remove dead code in toast_fetch_datum_slice
In toast_fetch_datum_slice(), we Assert() that what is passed in isn't compressed, but we then later had a check to see what the length of if what was passed in is compressed. That later check is rather confusing since toast_fetch_datum_slice() is only ever called with non-compressed datums and the Assert() earlier makes it clear that one shouldn't be passing in compressed datums. Add a comment to make it clear that toast_fetch_datum_slice() is just for non-compressed datums, and remove the dead code.
