Description

I would like the ability to declare a table as a disk table, where disk tables are cheaper, with higher limits, but may have higher access latency:

#[table(accessor = foobar, storage = disk)]
struct Foobar {
    id: u64
}

Requested by @cloutiertyler via the SpacetimeDB site.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the table declaration and storage implementation in SpacetimeDB. Clarify how the disk storage option should provide lower cost, higher limits, and higher access latency, then define tests that establish the expected declaration and behavior.
