#27339: Adding an AutoField prompts for a default which creates a broken 
migration

 Change:
 {{{
 class Foo(models.Model):
     id = models.CharField(max_length=20, primary_key=True)
 }}}
 to:
 {{{
 class Foo(models.Model):
     character_id = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
 }}}
 The created migration has these operations:
 {{{
 migrations.RemoveField(
     model_name='foo',
     name='id',
 ),
 migrations.AddField(
     model_name='foo',
     name='character_id',
     field=models.AutoField(default=0, primary_key=True, serialize=False),
     preserve_default=False,
 ),
 }}}
 (entering 0 at the default prompt). Running the migration on PostgreSQL
 gives: `ProgrammingError: multiple default values specified for column
 "character_id" of table "t27267_foo"`. I'm not sure if this can be made to
 work sensibly. Removing the default from the migration operation works,
 but if there's an existing data, the `character_id` field must be
 populated somehow (perhaps a `RunPython` could be done in the same
 migration?). #27338 is related. This was discovered while investigating
 #27267.
