Refer to replication origin roident as "ID" in user facing messages and docs

The table column that stores this is of type oid, but is actually limited
to uint16 and has a different path for creating new values. Some of
the documentation already referred to it as an ID, so let's standardize
on that.

While at it, most format strings already use %u, so for consintency
change the remaining stragglers using %d.

Per suggestions from Tom Lane and Justin Pryzby

Replication origins have just two properties, a name and an ID. The name,
which is what should be used to refer to the origin across systems, is
free-form <type>text</type>. It should be used in a way that makes conflicts
between replication origins created by different replication solutions
unlikely; e.g., by prefixing the replication solution's name to it.

The ID is used only to avoid having to store the long version
in situations where space efficiency is important. It should never be shared
across systems.
