Add to metadata a name for a column that contains unique id #346

Carry in metadata a name of a column that contains unique survey id identifier.

This is because we expect that (https://github.com/astronomy-commons/hipscat/issues/345) our internal name for an object is not necessary unique, and we want to have a unique identifier for various association tables and similar applications.

Possible via kwargs with #358. To be implemented in import with https://github.com/astronomy-commons/hipscat-import/issues/393
