Right, the patch number 0003 looks wrong to me.  It uses
heap_compute_data_size() to compute the size of the future index
tuple.  But heap_compute_data_size() doesn't apply any compression on
the attributes.  I suggest instead we just need to have a version of
index_form_tuple() that reports an oversized tuple in a return value
rather than throwing the error.

BTW, 0001 and 0002 look good to me.  I'm going to push them if no objections.
