 In #36717, `WP_Site` and `WP_Network` will get magic getters/setters so
 that `id` and other more properly named properties can be used.

 We should standardize on `id` rather than `ID` for core objects where it
 makes sense.

 Current primary IDs for objects are:

 * `WP_Comment` -> `comment_ID`
 * `WP_Post` -> `ID`
 * `WP_Term` -> `term_id`
 * `WP_User` -> `ID`
 * `WP_Widget` -> `id`
 * `WP_Screen` -> `id`

 `WP_User` is somewhat unique because the property was `id` and then
 deprecated in [18504] in favor of `ID`. We should be able to un-deprecate
 this.
