Support relationship parameter in join verbs #1305

Description

@bairdj

dplyr added a relationship parameter to join verbs in v1.1.1, which throws an error if provided to dbplyr.

The issue I am experiencing is for some unit tests that run across both local and lazy tables. dplyr throws a warning if there is a many-to-many relationship, which can be silenced by providing the relationship parameter, but this then causes the lazy table tests to fail.

I don't think dbplyr necessarily needs to support the check (would probably have to be an extra query to check if it is violated), but it would be good if it would accept the parameter.

join_df <- tibble(
  Species = c("setosa", "versicolor", "virginica"),
  x = 1:3
)

# dplyr join
iris %>%
  inner_join(
    join_df,
    by = join_by(Species),
    relationship = "many-to-one"
  ) %>%
  slice_head(n = 5)
