[Feature] Display event_time in model details panel #583

Summary

Display the event_time configuration in the model details panel of the dbt docs UI. This is important for developers working with microbatch models who need to verify that event_time is configured on a model and its parents.

Context

Originally filed as dbt-labs/dbt-core#12800. The issue author confirmed it's a docs UI feature request — event_time is already present in the manifest at node.config.event_time, so no dbt-core changes are needed. This is a frontend-only change in dbt-docs.

Proposed Change

Add an event_time row to the getBaseStats() function in src/app/components/table_details/table_details.js, following the same pattern as other config properties (Owner, Type, Language, Contract, etc.). The row should only display when event_time is configured (non-null).

Who will this benefit?

Developers working on microbatch models who need to validate event_time expectations for the parents of the model they're working on, without having to check both the YAML and the code manually.
