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.

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.
