We could get rid of t_hoff, because we should always be able to

Without t_hoff, how do you know the size of the null bitmap? You could
probably do it only if you assume the null bitmap, if present, always
covers all the columns...
I think we assume that already. heap_form_tuple reserves space for the
bitmap like this:
if (hasnull)
len += BITMAPLEN(numberOfAttributes);
