[Tile-serving] [osm2pgsql] 32-bit integer types (#288)

[Paul Norman]

Currently we have options to use 32 bit integers for osm2pgsql ID storage and/or PostgreSQL ID columns.

We've had 64-bit IDs for quite some time, and at this point the only use for 32 bit integers would be a non-OpenStreetMap use where there are many fewer IDs, e.g. OpenHistoricalMap or OpenGeofiction.

I do not believe either of these is close to large enough for the difference in speed and size between 32 and 64 bits to matter.

Do we want to maintain both 32 bit options? If so, how do we make sure they're tested?
