 Tell developers how to correctly silence `register_sidebar()` notices.

 * If we just tell them they they should set an `id` parameter, they might
 set an arbitrary one on an existing (i.e. not in-development) theme,
 causing widgets to be lost.
 * This way, we tell them to set it to the auto-generated `id` that the
 sidebar already has.
 * Widget content is not lost, and now their sidebar has a concrete handle.
