Display the registry's docs_url for a driver in `dbc info` output: a "Docs:" line in plaintext (only when set) and a docs_url field in the --json payload (always present, empty when unset). Closes columnar-tech#499

This looks great. Just two small changes.
Thanks for taking the time to contribute here!
Address review feedback: spell out the "Documentation:" label to match the other unabbreviated fields, and render the URL as an underlined OSC 8 hyperlink so it is clickable in terminals without URL auto-detection. Escape codes are still stripped when stdout is not a terminal.

Thanks for the changes and sorry for the delay in reviewing. I'm going to remove the added Underline() style since I'm not sure it's needed.

Summary
dbc docsalready uses thedocs_urlfrom the registry index, butdbc infonever showed it. This PR adds it to both the plaintext and the JSON output.In plaintext, there's a new
Docs:line afterDescription:. It only shows up when the driver has a docs URL:With
--json, thedriver.infopayload gets adocs_urlfield:{"schema_version":1,"kind":"driver.info","payload":{"driver":"snowflake", ..., "description":"...","docs_url":"https://adbc-drivers.org/drivers/snowflake/","packages":[...]}}A few choices I made
I went with
Docs:as the label since it's short and matchesdbc docs. Drivers without a docs URL get no line at all, so their output doesn't change.In the JSON,
docs_urlis always there (empty string when unset). I left outomitemptyon purpose, so it behaves liketitle,licenseanddescriptionright next to it. The field is new, soschema_versionstays at 1.Easy to change any of these if you'd prefer something else.
The tests reuse the existing
test-driver-docs-urlfixture, and also check that a driver without a docs URL gets noDocs:line and an emptydocs_url.Not in this PR
dbc search -v --jsondoesn't includedocs_urleither. I can do that in a follow-up if you want it.Test plan
