`getObjectById` and `object.id` interfaces are untyped

See original GitHub issue

Currently all Screeps id attributes are implemented as string, not Id<Object>.

Expected Behavior

It should be Id<RoomObject> or similar type argument, so that they can be saved, and then restored: getObjectById(id<RoomObject>) -> RoomObject? Main point of using object ids is saving them to memory to keep a hang of any particular object for the future.

Actual Behavior

Currently all Screeps id attributes are string. Some objects do not have this property at all.

I’ve merged #144 so it’s the new “current” method.

@PostCrafter @eduter @kotarou Can we all agree now that #144 is the most acceptable solution for 3.0?

It uses the Tag method for Id<T> and while supporting string ids to get game objects, officially marks them as deprecated and returns unknown type if not manually asserted.
