Include `filter`, `select`, and `exclude` arguments in generate source about dbt-coves HOT 3 CLOSED

@ssassi I just read through #41— that's exactly the same use case I have, I want to exclude _airbyte_raw tables. I'd be happy to contribute here, but I'm not too familiar with the codebase or setup. Would you be able to meet and chat through the process? I haven't contributed to an open source project before.

@mattppal thank you for contributing.

We've recently added select-relations and exclude-relations to generate sources command. They let you choose or ignore relations (tables) from being subject of generation.

Keep in mind filtering in generate sources and generate properties works differently:

• generate properties works with select, exclude and selector: this filtering strategies work exactly as dbt ls do. In fact, as generate properties works with dbt's local files, these flags are passed directly to a dbt subprocess.
• generate sources works with the two most recent flags I stated above and, instead of working locally, it goes through your Adapter to the database-schema combination passed to the command.
