Make requests to RC API in a consistent way, using the same contract ID

[adinuca]

Why

RC subsites make the same requests to RC API using the contract_id in some places and the open_contracting_id in other places. We should be consistent.

What

• open_contracting_id is used everywhere where we are requesting data about a contract from RC-API

Notes

This is a follow up issue for #1172 .

Hi @anjesh , any idea when this will be done?
Thank you!

[anjesh]

@charlesyoung for your decision on whether to move forward with this or not? Not urgent but helps with the performance.

[charlesyoung]

This is something we need to look at but lets put in on hold for now.

Hi @charlesyoung ,
This issue and #1176 were raised due to the outage caused by the migration of Elasticsearch. @anjesh and his team might be able to them faster than us because they are more familiar with how RC works, but we can also do them if needed.
This fixes should allow us to scale down Elasticsearch.

Let us know what you think.

@charlesyoung , this should still be done at some point.
