Coordinate table statistics formatting in docs generation

[drewbanin]

Code cleanup: currently, the docs site needs to hard-code the formatting specification for table stats provided in the catalog. Instead, dbt should denote how to format each "stats" column is specifies in the catalog (or, some sort of mapping separate from any individual catalog record).

As it stands, there's some unpleasant code that formats numbers appropriate in dbt docs:

var format = {
                    rows: asNumber, // Redshift
                    row_count: asNumber, // Snowflake
                    num_rows: asNumber, // BigQuery
                    max_varchar: asNumber,
                    pct_used: asPercent,
                    size: asBytes, // Redshift
                    bytes: asBytes, // Snowflake
                    num_bytes: asBytes, // BigQuery
                }

Who will this benefit?

Me, Drew Banin
