PR Description
This PR adds a wrapper around the Datadog Exporter from the opentelemetry-collector-contrib repo. It enables use of the Datadog exporter, which allows Alloy to send telemetry (metrics and traces at this point) to Datadog.
This is useful in migrating a Datadog setup towards a more OSS architecture. By allowing Alloy to talk to Datadog, Alloy can serve a new wedge of users using this proprietary platform and embrace OTel more.
Documentation and more tests need to be added, as well as more scrutiny; I intend on continuing work on this branch to address these over the next few days. This MR has dependency on #711 , hence the large diff 😅
