[Bug] Flags set in dbt_project.yml are not respected

[noel-nf]

Describe the bug
Flags set in dbt_project.yml are not respected. This is reproducible by setting require_generic_test_arguments_property: True in dbt_project.yml, and using a test with arguments, such as below:

        tests:
          - not_null
          - accepted_values:
              arguments:
                values: [...]

Then, when running in Airflow, we get the errors like below, even though the flag is set in dbt_project.yml

[WARNING][ArgumentsPropertyInGenericTestDeprecation]: Deprecated
INFO - functionality
INFO - Found `arguments` property in test definition of `accepted_values` ({'values':
INFO - ['1d', '3d', '7d', '15d', '30d', '60d', '90d']}) without usage of
INFO - `require_generic_test_arguments_property` behavior change flag. The `arguments`
INFO - property is deprecated for custom usage and will be used to nest keyword
INFO - arguments in future versions of dbt.

  macro 'dbt_macro__test_accepted_values' takes no keyword argument 'arguments'

I see in the configs.py file that the flag is hardcoded as False.

hey @noel-nf, thanks for reporting this!

Would you mind confirming your dbt-core version? I don't see 2.11.2 in the release page for dbt-core.

Regardless, I'll try to reproduce and get back to you on that.

@tomasfarias 1.11.2, typo :)
