## Original PR summary
# Description of Changes
Receive and send reducer ids and table ids as opposed to names in the SDK.
Alternative to https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/1883 which is more efficient, but also uses indices internally rather than strings, making the diff larger.
API and ABI breaking changes
Yes.
