Check the database that Snowflake will drop.

If QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS_IGNORE_CASE is true, Snowflake resolves "my-db__dev" as "MY-DB__DEV". If both databases exist and the lowercase one is marked as managed, this check passes but the drop targets the uppercase database, even if it is unmanaged. This can occur after the session parameter changes. (docs.snowflake.com)

Resolve the name under the session’s identifier rules before checking its managed status. Add a test for this case.

Review comment at @sqlmesh/core/engine_adapter/snowflake.py at line 177:
Update the managed-database check using database_name and catalog_name.name to
resolve the name according to the session’s QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS_IGNORE_CASE
setting, ensuring it checks the same database Snowflake will drop. Add a test
where both case variants exist and only the lowercase database is marked as
managed.

This already happens on main for names that don't need quoting: drop_catalog("foo") checks DATABASE_NAME = 'foo' and then runs DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS "foo" (that's what test_drop_catalog asserts), so with QUOTED_IDENTIFIERS_IGNORE_CASE on it resolves to FOO in the same way. This PR only lets names like my-db__dev pass the check, and the adapter doesn't account for that session parameter anywhere else, so I'd leave it out of scope here.

@DG47 You’re right. The existing test_drop_catalog on main asserts the same check and drop statements for foo.

This PR exposes the mismatch for names that need quoting, but I agree that handling the session parameter can be a separate change. The risk remains that the check can authorize a drop of a different, unmanaged database.

Would you like me to open a follow-up issue?
