Consider making web-features a public dataset on BigQuery #1462

Several other pieces of data about the web platform are available as public datasets on Google BigQuery e.g. HTTPArchive and CrUX.

It seems possible that we'll want to cross-reference these datasets with web features data in the future (e.g. HTTPArchive crawls could record per-web-feature use counters). Therefore maybe we could provide web-features as another automatically updated public dataset to enable those use cases.

This came up in the WebDX call last week. Some positive sounds were made about this idea during the call. I'd wager that a PR adding publishing the data to BigQuery to the end of the release process (e.g., at the end of https://github.com/web-platform-dx/web-features/pull/1479, after that's finished) would be welcome, if someone wants to take this up.
