awsathena driver does not support \d

[forbesmyester]

I can connect to Athena using:

$ usql 's3://__S3_STAGING_DIR_NOT_URL_ENCODE_WITH_TRAILING_FORWARDSLASH_ALSO_NOT_ENCODED?WGRemoteCreation=true&accessID=__THE_ACCESS_KEY__&db=__DATABASE_NAME_PROBABLY_URLENCODED_&missingAsEmptyString=true&region=eu-west-2&secretAccessKey=__THE_SECRET_URLENCODED__'

Which does work / can query

However \d does not (not supported by awsathena driver).

s3:__S3_STAGING_DIR_NOT_URL_ENCODE_WITH_TRAILING_FORWARDSLASH_ALSO_NOT_ENCODED=> \d
error: describe commands not supported by awsathena driver

$ usql --version
usql 0.12.13

I haven't used Athena but it's using Presto/Trino so I hope it's enough to plug in the default informationschema metadata reader, like we do for Trino: https://github.com/xo/usql/blob/master/drivers/trino/trino.go#L58

[forbesmyester]

I can confirm it does have an information schema... I am unsure if the format conforms to Presto or anything else though.

Hi, would you be open to have a PR for this. Not sure if anyone is already working on this

[kenshaw]

@abhishekgahlot2 Yes, absolutely.
