This patch is a new function based on the implementation of to_hex(int).
Since support for octal integer literals was added, to_oct(int) allows
octal values to be easily stored and returned in query results.
to_oct(0o755) = '755'
This is probably most useful for storing file system permissions.
Note this subsequent discussion about the to_hex function:

Also, I think there is no "to binary" function, so perhaps if we're
going down this road one way or the other, we should probably complete
the set.
