Specify the type for the auto-generated primary key
Given the change to using `bigint` as type for auto-generated primary keys (as per https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/26266), I propose updating the Active Record Basics guide to explicitly state the type being used so as to avoid confusion as to the type of integer used, especially as the type can vary depending on the database used.
