bytea_appendable_toaster contrib module (extension)

Contrib module implements Custom toaster for non-compressed
bytea columns, which allows fast appending to existing bytea
value. Appended tail is stored directly in toaster pointer,
if there is enough place to do it.
Also modifies concatenation operation for bytea datatype -
byteacat() with append operation for TOASTed values.
