Default primary key field type to use for models that don't have a field with

.. admonition:: Migrating auto-created through tables
The value of ``DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD`` will be respected when creating new
auto-created through tables for many-to-many relationships.
Unfortunately, the primary keys of existing auto-created through tables
cannot currently be updated by the migrations framework.
This means that if you switch the value of ``DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD`` and then
generate migrations, the primary keys of the related models will be
updated, as will the foreign keys from the through table, but the primary
key of the auto-created through table will not be migrated.
In order to address this, you should add a
:class:`~django.db.migrations.operations.RunSQL` operation to your
migrations to perform the required ``ALTER TABLE`` step. You can check the
existing table name through ``sqlmigrate``, ``dbshell``, or with the
field’s ``remote_field.through._meta.db_table`` property.
Explicitly defined through models are already handled by the migrations
system.
Allowing automatic migrations for the primary key of existing auto-created
through tables :ticket:`may be implemented at a later date <32674>`.

When changing the value of :setting:`DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD`, migrations for the
primary key of existing auto-created through tables cannot be generated
currently. See the :setting:`DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD` docs for details on migrating
such tables.
