Ensure that uid in OAuth is a string

Matthias Käppler requested to merge github/fork/PuzzleFlow/uid_should_always_be_string into master

Created by: katafrakt

In our company we use Redmine as OAuth provider (with https://github.com/suer/redmine_oauth_provider and https://github.com/suer/omniauth-redmine on GitLab side). In this case uid returned from Redmine is its database ID as integer. This leads to:

PG::Error: ERROR:  operator does not exist: character varying = integer
LINE 1: ..."."provider" = 'redmine' AND "users"."extern_uid" = 422  ORD...
                                                             ^
HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.

Casting uid to string fixes this issue.
