add guidance to using underscores or dots for dbt model naming (#4750)

this pr adds explicit guidance on how to name dbt models. it adds :

- we recommend using underscores and not dots
- dots are supported, however come with complexity.
- adds guidance to models doc, style doc, and links to style doc. 

this stemmed from user confusion and [slack

 - 👥 Models should be pluralized, for example, `customers`, `orders`, `products`.
 - 🔑 Each model should have a primary key.
 - 🔑 The primary key of a model should be named `<object>_id`, for example, `account_id`. This makes it easier to know what `id` is being referenced in downstream joined models.

+  - Most data platforms use dots to separate `database.schema.object`, so using underscores instead of dots reduces your need for [quoting](/reference/resource-properties/quoting) as well as the risk of issues in certain parts of dbt Cloud. For more background, refer to [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/3246).
 - 🔑 Keys should be string data types.
 - 🔑 Consistency is key! Use the same field names across models where possible. For example, a key to the `customers` table should be named `customer_id` rather than `user_id` or 'id'.
 - ❌ Do not use abbreviations or aliases. Emphasize readability over brevity. For example, do not use `cust` for `customer` or `o` for `orders`.

-## Overview
-
 dbt Core and Cloud are composed of different moving parts working harmoniously. All of them are important to what dbt does — transforming data—the 'T' in ELT. When you execute `dbt run`, you are running a model that will transform your data without that data ever leaving your warehouse.
 
 Models are where your developers spend most of their time within a dbt environment. Models are primarily written as a `select` statement and saved as a `.sql` file. While the definition is straightforward, the complexity of the execution will vary from environment to environment.  Models will be written and rewritten as needs evolve and your organization finds new ways to maximize efficiency.

@@ -29,7 +29,10 @@ dbt's Python capabilities are an extension of its capabilities with SQL models.
 A SQL model is a `select` statement. Models are defined in `.sql` files (typically in your `models` directory):
 - Each `.sql` file contains one model / `select` statement
 - The model name is inherited from the filename.
-- Models can be nested in subdirectories within the `models` directory
+- We strongly recommend using underscores for model names, not dots. For example, use `models/my_model.sql` instead of `models/my.model.sql`.

+Refer to [How we style our dbt models](/best-practices/how-we-style/1-how-we-style-our-dbt-models) for details on how we recommend you name your models.
 
 When you execute the [`dbt run` command](/reference/commands/run), dbt will build this model <Term id="data-warehouse" /> by wrapping it in a `create view as` or `create table as` statement.
