Log message:
    Distinguish between MaxHeapAttributeNumber and MaxTupleAttributeNumber,
    where the latter is made slightly larger to allow for in-memory tuples
    containing resjunk attributes.  Responds to today's complaint that one
    cannot UPDATE a table containing the allegedly-legal maximum number of
    columns.

    Also, apply Manfred Koizar's recent patch to avoid extra alignment padding
    when there is a null bitmap.  This saves bytes in some cases while not
    creating any backward-compatibility problem AFAICS.
