Snowpark Migration Accelerator: SMA Checkpoints walkthrough

The Snowpark Migration Accelerator provides the SMA-Checkpoints feature, this feature goal is to be used within the checkpoints feature of the Snowflake Extension. SMA Checkpoints can be either enabled or disabled in order to generate a file named checkpoints.json which can be used by the extension to insert the checkpoints in the corresponding location based on the analysis made by the SMA.
