Hi!

Does the Snowflake Datasource support key pair authentication?

See: [https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowsql-start.html#using-key-pair-authentication](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/snowsql-start.html#using-key-pair-authentication)

And: [https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-sqlalchemy#key-pair-authentication-support](https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowflake-sqlalchemy#key-pair-authentication-support)
