Summary

Adds a short how-to block under datasources.update_connection in docs/api-ref.md describing how to convert an existing connection from username/password authentication to Snowflake keypair authentication.

  • States REST API v3.27+ support.
  • Documents the prerequisite: save the private key on the site under Site Settings -> Saved Credentials for Data Sources.
  • Includes a compact runnable snippet using the existing auth_type / username / embed_password fields on ConnectionItem.
  • Links to the paired runnable sample samples/update_connection_to_keypair.py (added in feat: add sample for converting connection auth to Snowflake keypair #1844) and the Tableau REST API authenticationType reference.

Closes#1602 (paired with #1844 on development).
