Add sid to onstat -g tpf output

When using onstat -g tpf it would be better if sid was displayed to make this easier to tie back to a session. E.g. when looking for reverse scans on the instance.

Allow placement of tablespace BYTE and TEXT data in a separate dbspace from the table's base row data.
