[aerogear-dev] Make id configurable

[Marko Strukelj]

I second that.

Java folks is used to JPA @Id annotation. I'm not saying we should
introduce a dependency on JPA, but we could have our own:
org.aerogear.android.persistence.Id

Checking for annotation is one tiny method, that will be hidden away from
the user. It can also be done smartly - you can cache the result of the
scan.
