Convert integer ID columns to bigint (for new installations)
What does this MR do and why?
This MR converts integer ID columns to bigint
for test and development environments. This will result in new self-managed installations using bigint
from the beginning, and this way not having to execute migrations. This will also give any new cells a wider range for unique ids.
