So, I have spent a couple of extra hours on this part, and tweaked
a couple of things before applying the result:
- Removal of atooid8().  I did not use it in the patch set here, and
one could just use strtou64() instead.
- More tests, closing gaps for related to ordering, hash (hash_func,
HashAggregate), btree, compare functions, UINT64_MAX values.
- Some tweaks to the docs.

While the final commit has sticked with oid8 for the data type and
Oid8 for the C type, we still have a couple of months to tweak the
names if necessary.  I would keep these as they are, but if there are
more voices for a Oid64, feel free of course.   What's on HEAD now
works fine enough for me.
