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
https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/global-configs/bigquery-changes?version=2.0#the-bigquery_reject_wildcard_metadata_source_freshness-flag
### What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?
Can we add the suggestion to use the [_TABLE_SUFFIX](https://docs.cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/querying-wildcard-tables) field for the freshness when possible? This would save the user quite a bit of compute and money.
In a lot of cases, the table _TABLE_SUFFIX field will be transformable to a date, so then you can use it as a freshness field. And querying on a field in the table will do a full table scan, while _TABLE_SUFFIX is free for on-demand pricing and less slot time for slots..
