[Shared] [API] Moving Oid class to 'shared-ldap-model' module?

Hi Dev,

How about moving the Oid class to the 'shared-ldap-model' module?
It's currently in the 'shared-asn1-api' module.

I wanted to use it in Studio but I couldn't find it because my plugin was not depending on 'shared-asn1-api'

Don't you think it makes more sense to have it available as part of the LDAP model in the 'shared-ldap-model' module?

Thanks,
Pierre-Arnaud

Later on this OID may be used for more than LDAP.

It's also heavily used in Schema objects. Even if it's an indirect, implicit use in those objects (as we're storing OIDs as a String and not an OID object).
If Schema objects are part of the LDAP model, I believe the Oid class should also be part of it.

That said, I understand your point.
I just find it more convenient to regroup all the classes a user might use under the same package name and/or module.

An OID is an ASN.1 object, not an LDAP one..
