Force pg_upgrade's to preserve pg_class.oid, not pg_class.relfilenode.

Toast tables have identical pg_class.oid and pg_class.relfilenode, but
for clarity it is good to preserve the pg_class.oid.

Update comments regarding what is preserved, and do some
variable/function renaming for clarity.

* We control all assignments of pg_class.relfilenode so we can keep the

* pg_largeobject, pg_largeobject_metadata, and its indexes, which can
* change due to a cluster, reindex, or vacuum full. (We don't create
* those so have no control over their oid/relfilenode values.)
* We control all assignments of pg_class.oid (and relfilenode) so toast
* oids are the same between old and new clusters. This is important
* because toast oids are stored as toast pointers in user tables.
*
* While pg_class.oid and pg_class.relfilenode are intially the same, they
* can diverge due to cluster, reindex, or vacuum full. The new cluster
* will again have matching pg_class.relfilenode and pg_class.oid values,
* but based on the new relfilenode value, so the old/new oids might
* differ.
* The only place where old/new relfilenode might not match is

* which can change their relfilenode values due to a cluster, reindex,
* or vacuum full. (We don't create those so have no control over their
* new relfilenode values.)
*
* We control all assignments of pg_type.oid because these are stored
* in composite types.

* We control all assignments of pg_enum.oid because these oid are stored
