Fix various instances of undefined behavior

Mostly this involves checking for NULL pointer before doing operations
that add a non-zero offset.

The exception is an overflow warning in heap_fetch_toast_slice(). This
was caused by unneeded parentheses forcing an expression to be
evaluated to a negative integer, which then got cast to size_t.

Per clang 21 undefined behavior sanitizer.

Backpatch to all supported versions.
