Sets a configuration for the JobInfo object. Use CopyJobConfiguration for a
job that copies an existing table. Use ExtractJobConfiguration for a job that exports
a table to Google Cloud Storage. Use LoadJobConfiguration for a job that loads data
from Google Cloud Storage into a table. Use QueryJobConfiguration for a job that runs
a query.
