Thread: Doc and comment patch for packed varlena

Caught someone using PG_DETOAST_PACKED and VARDATA_ANY on a structure that
required alignment so I guess some more prominent warnings are in order. I
also added a paragraph to the "User-Defined Types" chapter on using these
macros since it seems like they're a hit.
