# Objective
- Fixes#10806
## Solution
Replaced `new` and `index` methods for both `TableRow` and `TableId`
with `from_*` and `as_*` methods. These remove the need to perform
casting at call sites, reducing the total number of casts in the Bevy
codebase. Within these methods, an appropriate `debug_assertion` ensures
the cast will behave in an expected manner (no wrapping, etc.). I am
using a `debug_assertion` instead of an `assert` to reduce any possible
runtime overhead, however minimal. This choice is something I am open to
changing (or leaving up to another PR) if anyone has any strong
arguments for it.

## Changelog
- `ComponentSparseSet::sparse` stores a `TableRow` instead of a `u32`
(private change)
- Replaced `TableRow::new` and `TableRow::index` methods with
`TableRow::from_*` and `TableRow::as_*`, with `debug_assertions`
protecting any internal casting.
- Replaced `TableId::new` and `TableId::index` methods with
`TableId::from_*` and `TableId::as_*`, with `debug_assertions`
protecting any internal casting.
- All `TableId` methods are now `const`
## Migration Guide
- `TableRow::new` -> `TableRow::from_usize`
- `TableRow::index` -> `TableRow::as_usize`
- `TableId::new` -> `TableId::from_usize`
- `TableId::index` -> `TableId::as_usize`

## Notes
I have chosen to remove the `index` and `new` methods for the following
chain of reasoning:
- Across the codebase, `new` was called with a mixture of `u32` and
`usize` values. Likewise for `index`.
- Choosing `new` to either be `usize` or `u32` would break half of these
call-sites, requiring `as` casting at the site.
- Adding a second method `new_u32` or `new_usize` avoids the above, bu
looks visually inconsistent.
- Therefore, they should be replaced with `from_*` and `as_*` methods
instead.
Worth noting is that by updating `ComponentSparseSet`, there are now
zero instances of interacting with the inner value of `TableRow` as a
`u32`, it is exclusively used as a `usize` value (due to interactions
with methods like `len` and slice indexing). I have left the `as_u32`
and `from_u32` methods as the "proper" constructors/getters.
