Make Array-creation behavior of Paginable more predictable (#14687)

* Make Array-creation behavior of Paginable more predictable

Paginable.paginate_by_id usually returns ActiveRecord::Relation, but it
returns an Array if min_id option is present. The behavior caused problems
fixed with the following commits:
- 552e886b648faa2a2229d86c7fd9abc8bb5ff99c
- b63ede5005d33b52266650ec716d345f166e2df0
- 64ef37b89de806f49cc59e011aa0ee2039c82c46

To prevent from recurring similar problems, this commit introduces two
changes:
- The scope now always returns an Array whether min_id option is present
  or not.
- The scope is renamed to to_a_paginated_by_id to clarify it returns an
  Array.

* Transform Paginable.to_a_paginated_by_id from a scope to a class method

https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Scoping/Named/ClassMethods.html#method-i-scope
> The method is intended to return an ActiveRecord::Relation object, which
> is composable with other scopes.

Paginable.to_a_paginated_by_id returns an Array and is not appropriate
as a scope.
