Add support for identity columns

[flvndh]

Describe the feature

Now that identity columns are GA, it would be great to be able to specify the identity column as part of the model configuration.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• monotonically_increasing_id()
• row_number()
• rank OVER
• hash()
• md5()

Who will this benefit?

Every dbt-databricks user who wants to generate surrogate keys.

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

Why not 😊

I would vote for this. As it is a natural thing to use while creating DWH cores with entity-oriented normalized storage.
