Make clear that setting up and loading data steps are required for users
using other adapters than BigQuery.

## What are you changing in this pull request and why?
The current documentation is unclear as to Setting up and Loading data
steps are required for users using other adapters than BigQuery such as
Snowflake. I missed the prerequisite and got stuck in the quickstart
guide myself. This pull request is to make clearer above steps are a
prerequisite for every dbt adapter.
