I pretty much just moved the existing code from CommentLargeObject()
into a new function oidparse().  I couldn't really figure out where to
put the oidparse() function so I eventually decided on oid.c, and
therefore also ripped out the trip through the fmgr layer in favor of
calling the appropriate code directly.  Other than that it's the same
code.  I'm open to suggestions, but this is basically just a small bit
of code rearrangement.
