Got it. Will improve. I just wanted to explain the basics of oidmap to
help ease the review process.

They do fail. `get_oid_arbitrary_hex()` from 'unit-tests/lib-oid.h' is
a function specifically built for the use in unit tests. And it
contains in built `check_*` to ensure that the tests fails if something
goes wrong and also prints diagnostic info. Maybe we can add a check here
as well to know the line number at which the call failed, but since we
already print queried hex value and other diagnostic info from
`get_oid_arbitrary_hex()`, I thought it would be enough.

Yeah, will do.

Got it. Will remove.

Yeah, since I was not sure if hashmap's order is predictable, I first
checked if the entry exists and later checked if the size matches. I'll
try to do the array approach you mentioned.

Thank you for the review.
