Re-add default_with_oids GUC to avoid breaking old dump files.

After 578b229718 / the removal of WITH OIDS support, older dump files
containing
SET default_with_oids = false;
either report unnecessary errors (as the subsequent tables have no
oids) or even fail to restore entirely (when using transaction mode).
To avoid that, re-add the GUC, but don't allow setting it to true.

Per complaint from Tom Lane.
