 #27252 attempted to make WP_Query's `'fields' => 'ids'` or `'fields' =>
 'id=>parent'` return an array of integers instead of numeric strings.
 However, the fix was incomplete.

 This returns an array of integers:
 {{{
 $query = new WP_Query();
 $posts = $query->query( array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
 var_dump( $posts );

 array(1) {
   [0]=>
   int(131)
 }
 }}}

 This still returns an array of strings:
 {{{
 $query = new WP_Query( array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );
 var_dump( $query->posts );

 array(1) {
   [0]=>
   string(3) "131"
 }
 }}}

 The unit test added in [27686] didn't catch this, because it only tested
 `$q->query()` and not `$q->posts`.
