Subject: [PATCH] Allow customised ID format for `ts' `org-id-method'

* lisp/org-id.el (org-id-new): Use `org-id-ts-format' as ID format for
`ts' ID generation method.
(org-id-ts-format): New custom variable for `ts' ID format.  The
default value is the same as old hard-coded ID format string.
* etc/ORG-NEWS (New option ~org-id-ts-format~): Announce the new
custom variable.
