[FEATURE] apply_source_filter config added to ALL appropriate macros #222

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. AutomateDV assumes that the data being pointed at the macros is always deltas. In our architecture, we have a data lake where we create an event base history for each source table. We'd like to point macros at this (and can for the most part) but apply_source_filter is not across all of the macros.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to have the apply_source_filter config available on all macros. This would allow idempotent builds over event base history tables from source where we can simply restart jobs, or full-refresh the data vault should issues arise. I would expect this to be available on all macros excluding possibly hubs and links.

Describe alternatives you've considered The config is already there for the main sat macro, but I don't see any harm adding it to more as an option so there is the flexibility to limit the data considered by the macro rather than having to create a delta layer.
