My thought is to make OID generation optional on a per-table basis, and
disable it on system tables that don't need unique OIDs.  (OID would
read as NULL on any row for which an OID wasn't generated.)

It remains to be debated exactly how users should control the choice for
user tables, and which choice ought to be the default.  I don't have a
strong opinion about that either way, and am prepared to hear
suggestions.
