[Unit Testing] Add functional tests for unit testing:

Is this your first time submitting a feature request?

• I have read the expectations for open source contributors
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this feature
• I am requesting a straightforward extension of existing dbt-spark functionality, rather than a Big Idea better suited to a discussion

Describe the feature

Add spark-specific tests that implement the 3 base unit testing functional tests:

1. BaseUnitTestingTypes
   • Core issue: dbt-labs/dbt-core#9467
   • Currently, the unit testing framework in core uses the safe_cast utils macro to convert a user-provided value for an input mock to the appropriate type. In some instances, this safe_cast may fail and need special handling depending on the type.
   • The acceptance criteria for this issue is to introduce a test that provides coverage across all primative input types (and arrays & objects if possible!) for unit testing input data, potentially updating the safe_cast macro as necessary.
2. BaseUnitTestCaseInsensivity
3. TestSparkUnitTestInvalidInput
