identity is just too vague to be useful as a tag. It refers to Identity Columns, or should. So I think we should migrate it to identity-column (which the SQL spec uses to refer to them).

And also merge generated-as-identity with the new tag (or the old tag) since it has only 2 questions and has no place.
