Review Comment:
   The registry starts empty -- all semantic layers (Snowflake, dbt, etc.) are 
installed as extensions. Meanwhile, datasets/tables follow a completely 
separate code path (BaseDatasource.query() -> SQLAlchemy SQL generation) that 
doesn't go
      through SemanticQuery or the mapper at all.
   
     ▎ This means Superset has two fundamentally different query architectures 
side by side:
     ▎ - Datasets: QueryObject -> SQL (via SqlaTable.query())
     ▎ - Semantic views: QueryObject -> SemanticQuery (via mapper) -> external 
provider
   
   Should Datasets just be one built-in Semantic Layer option ? This would 
probably mean creating a built-in SqlSemanticLayer that wraps SqlaTable.query() 
behind the SemanticLayer/SemanticView
