Tell us more about this update

We will want to update our tests configs to be able to take whatever config the user wants to set as we do for eg. models
An example of an appropriate config that would benefit from this would be snowflake_warehouse so that users can define the virtual warehouse they use for tests in Snowflake.

I believe around here would be the place to make the change https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/data-test-configs#data-test-specific-configurations as this is where we define the Data-test specific and Generic configs for tests.

possibly want to add an example here https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/data-test-configs#examples

showing we can add any config.

models:
  - name: my_model
    columns:
      - name: id
        tests:
          - unique:
          - config:
             custom_config: custom_value

Re-opening since #5679 was reverted by #5901.

[dbeatty10]

Closing as "not planned" in favor of re-opening or creating a new issue once this feature is re-implemented.

[dbeatty10]

#6274 is the newest issue.
