   The ODBCHook returns pyodbc.Row objects when used with 
SQLExecuteQueryOperator to do SELECT queries, which cause serialization errors 
in the XCom backend. This PR follows the [discussion started 
here](https://github.com/apache/airflow/discussions/32058#discussioncomment-6263179).

   A good place to implement the transformation of Row into tuples is after the 
execution of the handler, in the 
[`run()`](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow/providers/common/sql/hooks/sql.py#L355)
 method. There, the raw data structure is available. Doing it later would imply 
to deal with potential nested structure (ex: list of results).
   
   Thus, I propose to add method in the DBApiHook to make the result of a query 
serializable. So that child Hook classes can override it to implement their own 
logic.
   
   I see that many Hooks based on `DbApiHook` have a custom run method. But 
considering @potiuk comment about "[the most standard the 
better](https://github.com/apache/airflow/discussions/32058#discussioncomment-6263179)",
 I'd ideally go for an extra internal method that Hooks can override, rather 
than copying the full run() method just to implement a small change. 
Considering also that the pyodbc.Row may not be the only case where a custom 
object causes issues ([Databricks could be rewrote to handle that 
issue](https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/31780/files) at Hook level). And 
considering that this pattern already exists with the 
[`serialize_cell`](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow/providers/common/sql/hooks/sql.py#L478)
 method which get overidden by child hooks.
