Documentation - Add recommended dbt packages to README #90

I think it would be helpful for people just getting started with dbt-athena to be aware of useful dbt packages such as dbt_utils as well as the athena_utils package.

If there are other packages commonly use with dbt-athena I think it would be great for those to be added.

@alex-antonison I hadn't known about athena_utils, it is great to see!

Can anyone confirm if dbt_utils is now compatible with Athena? Last time I looked there was quite a few macros that would not work (e.g https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-utils/pull/547) and it may not be a good idea to point people to it.

@Tomme If we're thinking about keeping athena-utils in recommended packages, we should probably keep dbt-utils as well. I tested the surrogate_key macro and it worked fine on Athena (thanks to the dispatch on athena-utils).
