HI,

I’m facing empty `reqId` problem when I update message metadata through rest api.

Step to reproduce.

1. Setup event listener

```auto
var channelHandler = new sb.ChannelHandler();
channelHandler.onMessageUpdated = function(channel, message) {
   console.log(message.messageId, message.reqId)
};

```

1. Send new message to a group channel
2. Update message via rest api

```auto
Request:

PUT https://xxx.sendbird.com/v3/group_channels/{group_id}/messages/{messageId}
{
    "message_type": "MESG",
    "data": {NEW_METADATA}
}
Response:
{
   ...,
   "req_id": "{MESSAGE_REQ_ID}"
}

```

1. Check console, `reqId` become empty.

refs

```auto
"sendbird": "3.1.8"

```

Thank you
