### Description

- Introduces a new argument `id` for `BasicCrawler`. This argument
controls the shared state.
- Each new instance of the `BasicCrawler` gets an automatically
incremented `id` to avoid unintentional sharing of state between
crawlers.
- If two crawlers should use the same state, then it is possible to pass
the same `id` to the crawler `__init__`.

### Issues

Closes: apify#1627

### Testing

- Added tests.
