Description

### Is this a regression in a recent version of dbt-core?

- [x] I believe this is a regression in dbt-core functionality
- [x] I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this regression

### Which versions does this regression span?

dbt 1.x → dbt v2.x (worked in 1.x, broke after upgrading to v2.x)

### Current Behavior

in dbt-core 2.0.0a4 it is observed that initial metadata queries (`SHOW OBJECTS IN SCHEMA ...`) do not contain a sql comment with dbt context on snowflake

### Expected/Previous Behavior

dbt-core 1.11.11 emits a dbt context comment with all queries including initial metadata queries, expecting that dbt-core 2.x would carry forward this behavior for tracking purposes

### Steps To Reproduce

Start a dbt-core 1.11.11 run to snowflake (python client local)
observe query history in snowflake pertaining to run
initial queries observed:
```sql
show terse schemas in database DEVELOPER
limit 10000
/* {"app": "dbt", "dbt_version": "1.11.11", "profile_name": "dbt_sandbox", "target_name": "default", "connection_name": "list_DEVELOPER"} */
```
```sql
show objects in DEVELOPER.ALEX_H_SCHEMA
limit 10000

/* {"app": "dbt", "dbt_version": "1.11.11", "profile_name": "dbt_sandbox", "target_name": "default", "connection_name": "list_DEVELOPER_ALEX_H_SCHEMA"} */;
```

Start a dbt-core 2.0.0a4 run to snowflake (rust client local)
observe query history in snowflake pertaining to run
initial queries observed:
```sql
SHOW OBJECTS IN SCHEMA "DEVELOPER"."ALEX_H_SCHEMA" LIMIT 10000
```

### Relevant log output

```shell

```

### Environment
