This is advertised to the runner via a new NAMED_DATA_STREAMS protocol capability. The runner is then free to assign bundles to named data streams as it chooses to isolate bundle processing from each other. Instead of single data stream from the sdk, the sdk will create a data stream for each name. The benefit of doing so is that the multiplexing currently performed on data stream messages being received allows a slow bundle to fill up buffers and block the shared stream. With separate named streams, bundles on other data streams have separate grpc flow control from the blocked stream and are not affected.

This is related to issue #39001 and similar support was added for the Java sdk in #38863
