Enhancement Request: Snowflake ML version of scikit-learn's FunctionTransformer for pipeline pre-processing

[zyzil]

Scikit-learn provides FunctionTransformer to allow users to quickly write transformers without subclassing components and such.

I believe this would be a great addition to the Snowflake ML library to have the same option to allow composing custom pre-processing transforms in the Snowflake ML Pipeline in a consistent fashion instead of having to do some pre-processing against the dataframe pre-pipeline and more in the pipeline.
