Maybe I'm missing something, but toasted columns aren't actually marked
as speculative right now, no? Cf.
HeapTuple
toast_insert_or_update(Relation rel, HeapTuple newtup, HeapTuple oldtup,
int options)
..
/*

*/
options &= ~HEAP_INSERT_SPECULATIVE;
so going through heap_abort_speculative()/heap_delete_speculative()
doesn't look right to me. We could change thing so toasted rows also
get inserted speculatively - but I don't see much of a point.

If we go this way, it seems easier to get is_toast from
IsToastRelation(relation), rather than hand it through painstakingly.
