oid_registry: allow arbitrary size OIDs

The current OID registry parser uses 64 bit arithmetic which limits us to
supporting 64 bit or smaller OIDs.  This isn't usually a problem except
that it prevents us from representing the 2.25.  prefix OIDs which are the
OID representation of UUIDs and have a 128 bit number following the
prefix.  Rather than import not often used perl arithmetic modules,
replace the current perl 64 bit arithmetic with a callout to bc, which is
arbitrary precision, for decimal to base 2 conversion, then do pure string
operations on the base 2 number.
