get redshift external tables

CHANGELOG.md

 ## Fixes
 - deduplicate macro for Databricks now uses the QUALIFY clause, which fixes NULL columns issues from the default natural join logic
 - deduplicate macro for Redshift now uses the QUALIFY clause, which fixes NULL columns issues from the default natural join logic
+- get_tables_by_pattern_sql will now:
+  - return redshift external tables ([#752](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-utils/issues/752)
+  - work with valid redshift database names that contain dashes
+## Under the hood
+- created a new dispatch redshift__get_tables_by_pattern which unions the result of the default macro and querying svv_external_tables for the same conditions (schema name, pattern, exclude pattern).
