bi_view_editor: wrong generation of ID column

[gurneyalex]

BI View Editor

The id column generated by BI View Editor using CAST(row_number() OVER () as integer) AS id is broken and should be replaced. It generates non stable IDs so when you group or filter records, Odoo will display results not matching the filter or the group in its results.

This issue existed on bi_sql_editor and was fixed by using a subselect to get the rows and then inject the ids.

See method _prepare_request_for_execution on model bi.sql.view for a correct implementation https://github.com/OCA/reporting-engine/blob/e8df660d9b1a0b018fbd504f0a45bc59fe516c98/bi_sql_editor/models/bi_sql_view.py#L618-L638

@gurneyalex @astirpe our workaround here is to sort the query by an id field to make the order deterministic - that leads to consistent results for our use case but might not be possible in every scenario.
