Allow .id instead of ._id for the Mongo backend

To allow easier migration to the SQLAlchemy style .id give
the User and MediaEntry mongo classes an alias attribute of
.id that maps to ['_id'].

Use it in the upload process, because this was one of the
last positions with a ['_id'] instead of ._id (due to a bug
in mongokit).
