Subject: [PATCH] Update identifying-users-simplified.mdx (#1674)

Updating the Python pseudocode for Simplified ID Merge.

Having the function:
def identify_user(request):
  properties = {
    "$device_id": uuid.uuid4(),
    "$identified_id": request.user.username

  }
  track_to_mp(request, "$identify", properties)

may cause confusion because $identify is not used id v3 nor is $identified_id. The main part of the pseudocode should suffice as an example as only $device_id and $user_id are used for v3
