Add an option to AlterTableCreateToastTable() to allow its caller to force

a toast table to be built, even if the sum-of-column-widths calculation
indicates one isn't needed.  This is needed by pg_migrator because if the
old table has a toast table, we have to migrate over the toast table since
it might contain some live data, even though subsequent column drops could
mean that no recently-added rows could require toasting.
