feat: Add the ability to override getter for JsonApiClient::Resource id

[randyv12]

Hello, I just want to ask and see if we can modify a single line in one file included_data.rb. I ran into an issue needing to add a method id that will normalize the raw ids into integers, in cases of belongs_to, relationships. Please see test file here.

Desired Functionality: I want to be able create a base class that overrides the id method of a resource and consistently return it as an integer. Because I want to be able to transform back, the original type of my resource id.

This happens when we serialize active record / application record objects from mysql through json-apiserializer gem. Their representation of id's turn into strings, that's how the json api documentation declares it so.

There seems to be only a one-liner change so that we can override the id method of a JsonApiClient::Resource

This adds the ability to create a subclass of JsonApiClient::Resource to have a modified id method that returns the id as an integer. This gives the application code the flexibility to match against attributes (ids of type integer) of other resources that are integers, which weren't translated to strings, (from gems such as json-apiserializer).

while this is strictly speaking against the spec, i think the change is reasonable. can you please fix the tests and add an entry to the ##Unreleased section of the changelog? Thanks!

Oh I see, the method name in one of the test was incorrectly prefixed without test_ . Updated.

would you like me to fix those tests for different ruby versions? i think its got to do with Fixnum vs Integer
