Using a unique ID for each Protobuf message allows libraries/applications defining these messages to register a callback function associated with each ID. This way, uartpb is not dependent of applications anymore, which had to declare a Protobuf message gathering all known Protobuf messages.
This unique ID will be sent first, followed by encoded Protobuf message. The unique id can also be sent alone if the message does not required any content (like a reset or trigger message).
