server/docs: add bigquery "quickstart"

Browse Source 
[rendered](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine-mono/blob/bigquery-quickstart/server/documentation/data-sources/bigquery.md)

This PR introduces a contributor-facing quickstart guide for BigQuery. I've added pointers to existing docs or helpful links based on questions and blockers we've faced in the past whilst working on and testing BigQuery. Let me know if I've missed anything you think would be especially helpful.

### Introduction to BigQuery
BigQuery is a fully-managed, serverless data warehouse that enables high-performance, scalable analysis over petabytes of data. It is a Platform as a Service that supports querying using [SQL](#sql-dialect).

- [BigQuery vs Postgres comparison](https://weld.app/blog/postgresql-vs-bigquery)
### Getting started
BigQuery setup and usage is atypical compared to other relational database backends Hasura currently supports, such as Postgres & SQL Server. You may find these guides useful to familiarise yourself with BigQuery before contributing a PR.

Google Cloud projects form the basis for creating, enabling, and using all Google Cloud services, including BigQuery datasets.

Once you have a project set up, you can work with datasets via the:
- [Google Cloud Console](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/quickstarts/quickstart-cloud-console)
- [REST API](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/rest)
- [`bq`](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/quickstarts/load-data-bq), a command line tool to run queries and load data into BigQuery
### Getting started with BigQuery on Hasura
See the [hasura.io: BigQuery getting started guide](https://hasura.io/docs/latest/graphql/core/databases/bigquery/getting-started.html) for general information about connecting to a BigQuery data source.
Integration tests are run against short-lived projects. The following prerequisites are expected:
- A Google Cloud Console service account
- `HASURA_BIGQUERY_PROJECT_ID` environment variable
- `HASURA_BIGQUERY_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_FILE` environment variable
See [these docs](https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/tree/master/server/tests-py#running-bigquery-tests) for more guidance on testing against a BigQuery data source.
