Add comment on why pulling data from a "name" index column can't crash.

It's been bothering me for several days that pretending that the cstring
data stored in a btree name_ops column is really a "name" Datum could lead
to reading past the end of memory.  However, given the current memory
layout used for index-only scans in the btree code, a crash is in fact not
possible.  Document that so we don't break it.  I have not thought of any
other solutions that aren't fairly ugly too, and most of them lose the
functionality of index-only scans on name columns altogether, so this seems
like the way to go.
