API: Add option to obtain guid for the sbdf file of a SbdfLibraryDataSource in case its name is not uniqe

I've confirmed the following with support: There's currently no way to obtain the guid of the sbdf in the library which is used as data source in case its name is not unique in the library. My request is to add an option to obtain the guid easily for an SbdfLibraryDataSource, perhaps via some property in the class. Basically, I want the ID you can easily obtain by looking at the source information of the data table property.

There's some code here on how to obtain the id: https://community.tibco.com/wiki/how-use-ironpython-tibco-spotfirer-get-datatable-source-information

However, the problem is that if the name of the sbdf file is not unique, you'll obtain multiple ids and there's no way to decide which is the sbdf that belongs to the SbdfLibraryDataSource.
