Description

### Contributions

- [x] I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

### Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

This github issues calls out a couple of things related to the athena adapter and python models doc:

- [Athena spark supports python models](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/resource-configs/athena-configs#python-models) and we should update the [Python docs](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/python-models) to reflect that using the content in the athena configs doc. Note that that page is also not an extensive list because it doesn't include all the adapters in our ecosystem that run spark.

[Refer to internal slack](https://dbt-labs.slack.com/archives/CFQ823PMH/p1738930879074869?thread_ts=1738858841.275719&cid=CFQ823PMH)

- Perhaps we should also list things supported/not supported in Athena on [this page](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/cloud/connect-data-platform/connect-amazon-athena) and [this page](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/resource-configs/athena-configs#python-models) so usrs are aware.
