Parameters in generate_source for case-sensitive identifiers

[pnadolny13]

resolves #112

This builds off of and should replace #136. I didnt know how to continue working off @jgillies 's fork so I made my own. In comparison to that existing PR this adds:

• database and schema case sensitive options
• an integration test to assert the changes

This is a:

• documentation update
• bug fix with no breaking changes
• new functionality
• a breaking change

All pull requests from community contributors should target the main branch (default).

awesome work @pnadolny13! this looks great.

qq: i recently rewrote the README for contribution, how did that land with you? not sure if you'd already contributed to packages before, so perhaps you didn't need it/read it, but if you did, would love any feedback on any areas that might have been confusing or could be expanded. thanks!

@gwenwindflower the docs were great!

I didnt have any issues getting the tests set up and running other than that the cimg/postgres:9.6 image in the docker compose was amd and my machine expected an arm image. I updated it to the latest cimg/postgres:15.6 and it all worked.

ah awesome thanks @pnadolny13 -- i'll take a look at that i'm sure it's a quite old part of the coedebase that probably hasn't been updated in years, we definitely should probably update to a more recent postgres by default!

@gwenwindflower and @pnadolny13 thanks for pushing this through! I hope I can get back to more dbt work soon and actually benefit from it!
