Allow string IDs in background migrations
What does this MR do and why?
Describe in detail what your merge request does and why.
This MR adjusts the logic in queue_background_migration_jobs_by_range_at_intervals
so that it accepts string
columns as ID columns. This will be required for !81991 (merged) where we want to iterate though runner registration tokens in the projects
table, and iterating through the numeric ID would make the query unbearably slow.
