Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Current databricks connection setup allows only access token, and cannot be changed to configure other type

Describe the solution you'd like to allow authType for databrciks or any other setup, where based on organisation authentication mechanism we can configure it. in this case if I want to confugure OAuth configuration for databricks , there is no way to configure it.

Describe alternatives you've considered No alternative solution, unable to use cubejs as auth mechanism is not supported by my organisation authenticatoin mechanism of Oauth.

Research direction
Investigate the current Databricks connection implementation in the cube js/cube repository, likely in the SQL drivers or datasource configuration modules. Look at how access token authentication is implemented and identify where a generic auth type could be injected. Consider existing OAuth handling in other database drivers as a reference. The issue suggests adding an authType configuration field that allows switching between access token, OAuth, or other methods.
