The catalog has functionality to deterministically generate a random shard ID for a given environment. It used when we need a shard before the catalog is fully opened. It is strictly worse than generating a totally random shard because we limit the amount of randomness.
The catalog also has an un-migratable collection called "settings" which maps string keys to string values. This collection is accessible immediately after reading in a snapshot of the catalog, before we finish opening the catalog. Any shard ID used after reading in the snapshot can be generated fully randomly and stored in the settings collection.
Two shards fit into this category:
This commit adds a migration to move both those shards to the settings collection for existing environments. New environments will generate the shards randomly and stash the IDs in the settings collection.
