replace-object: eliminate replace objects prepared flag

Make the oidmap a pointer.

That way we eliminate the need for the global boolean
variable 'replace_object_prepared' as we can put this information
into the pointer being NULL or not.

Another advantage of this is that we would more quickly catch
code that tries to access replace-map without initializing it.

This also allows the '#include "oidmap.h"' introduced in a previous
patch to be replaced by the forward declaration of 'struct oidmap;'.
Keeping the type opaque discourages circumventing accessor functions;
not dragging in other headers avoids some compile time overhead.

One disadvantage of this is change is performance as we need to
pay the overhead for a malloc. The alternative of moving the
global variable into the object store is less modular code.
