#### Environment details

  - OS type and version: Ununtu 20.4
  - Python version: `python --version` 3.9.4
  - pip version: `pip --version` pip 21.0.1 from /home/jim/p/g/python-bigquery/env/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)
  - `google-cloud-bigquery` version: `pip show google-cloud-bigquery` 2.13.1

#### Steps to reproduce

  1. 
  2. ?

#### Code example

```python

>>> import google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi
>>> conn = google.cloud.bigquery.dbapi.connect()
/home/jim/p/g/python-bigquery/google/cloud/bigquery/client.py:444: UserWarning: Cannot create BigQuery Storage client, the dependency google-cloud-bigquery-storage is not installed.
  warnings.warn(
>>> cursor = conn.cursor()
>>> cursor.execute("select 1")
>>> list(cursor)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'Cursor' object is not iterable
>>> 
```
Iterability is optional, but widely implemented in dbapi implementations, because it's so useful.
