crashes

For example: change `id = models.CharField(max_length=20,
primary_key=True)` to `id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)`. It
generates this operation:
{{{
migrations.AlterField(
model_name='foo',
name='id',
field=models.AutoField(primary_key=True, serialize=False),
),
}}}
Running it on PostgreSQ gives: `django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: operator
class "varchar_pattern_ops" does not accept data type integer`. I'm not
sure if this can be made to work sensibly. Is it possible to autopopulate
the `AutoField`? I ran into this situation while investigating #27267.
