Get wx_id from Contact.id not wx account

Yes, using Contact.id just can get contact unique id according to the puppet. It cannot get weixin id. See more: #1644 #90 #1276 #133 #1307

About wechaty API

• If you want to get weixin id, you can use Contact.weixin(), but this isn't supported at this time, it is coming very soon! see [RFC] custom id on Contact #1647
• If you want to get wx account(maybe you mean nickname), you can call Contact.name()

About Contact unique id

• If you are using iPad version, Contact.id is unique ID of and always the same id across sessions. It means when you login again, you always get this unique id.
• If you are using Web version, Contact.id is unique id but it will change across sessions. It means when you login again, you may get a different id even it is the same user.
