`not_null_proportion` doesn't work in Athena / Presto due to numeric type

[SOVALINUX]

Describe the bug

Athena fails query execution with the error SYNTAX_ERROR: line 15:56: Unknown type: numeric
There is indeed no such type in Athena / Presto
Suggestion is to use double instead
But the issue is actually wider - not_null_proportion hardcoded numeric type instead of using safe_cast with datatypes

Steps to reproduce

Use generic test not_null_proportion with Athena adapter

Expected results

Test works well

Actual results

SYNTAX_ERROR: line 15:56: Unknown type: numeric

Same happening with me, with dbt-utils 0.9.2 and dbt 1.3.0

Thanks @SOVALINUX - we don't actively support other warehouse platforms in this repo, but by using the cross-database macros defined in dbt core as of 1.3: https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/cross-database-macros#type_numeric, you can get the warehouse-specific behaviour you need.

In other words, I'll welcome a PR that changes to using dbt.type_numeric() but not a PR that adds a Presto-specific implementation of that test.
