Description

The documentation for Snowflake has some bugs and fails to explain a few things. I would like to make the following changes:

• Fix code examples
• Add information about the need to add a maven package.
• Add links to other resources i.e. SnowflakeIO source code, SnowflakeIO Javadoc/pydoc, Snowflake docs
• Describe more precisely the Snowflake.DataSourceConfiguration object configuration for the different authentication methods.
• Add section about current limitations
• Improve file syntax

In the coming weeks, I will want to introduce more changes, but these changes seem crucial to me.

PS. Can I ask for io-python-snowflake component?
