Migrate all `ids` of anything which does not have a foreign key from
the Message or UserMessage table (and would thus require walking
those) to be `bigint`. This is done by removing explicit
`BigAutoField`s, trading them for explicit `AutoField`s on the tables
to not be migrated, while updating `DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD` to the new
default.
In general, the tables adjusted in this commit are small tables -- at
least compared to Messages and UserMessages.
Many-to-many tables without their own model class are adjusted by a
custom Operation, since they do not automatically pick up migrations
when `DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD` changes[^1].
Note that this does multiple scans over tables to update foreign
keys[^2]. Large installs may wish to hand-optimize this using the
output of `./manage.py sqlmigrate` to join multiple `ALTER TABLE`
statements into one, to speed up the migration. This is unfortunately
not possible to do generically, as constraint names may differ between
installations.
This leaves the following primary keys as non-`bigint`:
- `auth_group.id`
- `auth_group_permissions.id`
- `auth_permission.id`
- `django_content_type.id`
- `django_migrations.id`
- `otp_static_staticdevice.id`
- `otp_static_statictoken.id`
- `otp_totp_totpdevice.id`
- `two_factor_phonedevice.id`
- `zerver_archivedmessage.id`
- `zerver_client.id`
- `zerver_message.id`
- `zerver_realm.id`
- `zerver_recipient.id`
- `zerver_userprofile.id`
