VAPI Assistant Name Needs Refactoring

The VAPI Assistant Name is a privileged and important field in many cases within the API (e.g. "create tool - transfer call" requires the assistant name and not ID).

VAPI Assistant names are not only not unique identifiers, but they have a 40 character limit (which is FAR too small).

This makes it INCREDIBLY annoying to manage many assistants across different customers and environments.

I'm requesting the following in order of priority:
Increase the assistant name character limit to 256 characters
Make the assistant names unique identifiers within an VAPI organization
Refactor the API to leverage assistant IDs and not assistant names
