Description

The /v1/meta API endpoint does not include the sql_table field. Even with the ?extended query param the sql_table field does not exist, even though sql does. It would also be great to have this included unless there is a good reason not to.

I believe it's the following function that needs to be adapted along with the unit tests: https://github.com/cube-js/cube/blob/e8d81f2e04ce61215b1185d9adc4320233bc34da/packages/cubejs-api-gateway/src/helpers/transformMetaExtended.ts#L37

I'm happy to open a pull request for the same!

Research direction
The issue is to add the `sql table` field to the `/v1/meta` API response. The specific file to modify is `packages/cubejs api gateway/src/helpers/transformMetaExtended.ts`, specifically the function around line 37. You will need to add the field and update the corresponding unit tests. No pull request is currently linked, so this issue is available for a first time contributor.
