DDS12 — Representation of OID should be vendor specific

Summary:

The OID currently consists of two numbers: a creator_id and a local_id. The philosophy is that each writer should obtain its own unique creator_id, and can then sequence number each object created with it to obtain unique object identifiers. The specification does not specify how the writers should obtain their unique creator_id. Building a mechanism to distribute unique OIDs requires knowledge about the underlying system characteristics, and this information is only available in DCPS.

Proposed Resolution:

Make the definition of the OID vendor specific. This allows a vendor to specify its own algorithms to guarantee that each object has got a unique identifier.
The only location where the application programmer actually has to know the contents of the OID is in the create_object_with_oid method on the ObjectHome. However, we see no use-case for this method and propose to remove it.
