Subject: [PATCH 01/18] Remove extra newlines that Vertica could not parse

Without trimming the leading and trailing newlines, Vertica would fail to parse the
compiled SQL. For example, `models/edr/dbt_artifacts/dbt_columns`
compiles the following SQL, via `elementary.get_dbt_columns_empty_table_query`, `empty_table` and `empty_column`:

```sql

select * from (
            select

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as unique_id

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as parent_unique_id

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as name

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as data_type

,

        cast('this_is_just_a_long_dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as tags

,

        cast('this_is_just_a_long_dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as meta

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as database_name

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as schema_name

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as table_name

,

        cast('this_is_just_a_long_dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as description

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as resource_type

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as generated_at

,

        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as metadata_hash

        ) as empty_table
        where 1 = 0
```

which would cause

```
SQL Error [4856] [42601]: [Vertica][VJDBC](4856) ERROR: Syntax error at or near ")" at character 1
```

By trimming the newlines, the SQL is much tighter:

```sql

select * from (
            select
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as unique_id,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as parent_unique_id,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as name,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as data_type,
        cast('this_is_just_a_long_dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as tags,
        cast('this_is_just_a_long_dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as meta,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as database_name,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as schema_name,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as table_name,
        cast('this_is_just_a_long_dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as description,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as resource_type,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as generated_at,
        cast('dummy_string' as varchar(4096)) as metadata_hash
        ) as empty_table
        where 1 = 0
```

and this runs in Vertica just fine.
