Update all track config.json to have a track-id #93

I thought we didn't need it, but it turns out we have a perfectly valid reason to add this. Two in fact!

  1. If someone forked the repository back when it was called x$TRACK, then the name of the directory does not match the track ID, but everything else works.
  2. When forking a repository to an account that already has a repository by the same name, then you need to give the repository a different name. This is common for contributors who also contribute to the programming language itself, e.g. TypeScript, Julia, etc.
