Issue:
Support BigQuery `RANGE` type
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

BigQuery added a [`RANGE`](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/reference/standard-sql/data-types#range_type) type which takes a type parameter, one of `DATE`, `DATETIME` or `TIMESTAMP`

**Describe the solution you'd like**

Add support for this new type.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

N/A

**Additional context**

Would like to use this type in sqlmesh models.
