Michael Munch 12b7290697 distributedtracing: export Prometheus metrics via OTLP (#8450)
* distributedtracing: export Prometheus metrics via OTLP

Add support for pushing OPA's existing Prometheus metrics to an
OpenTelemetry collector via OTLP, eliminating the need for a dedicated
scraper sidecar. Uses the OTel Prometheus bridge to read from OPA's
prometheus.Registry and export through an OTLP metric exporter (gRPC
or HTTP), reusing the same address and TLS configuration as traces.

New config fields: distributed_tracing.metrics (bool, default false)
and distributed_tracing.metrics_export_interval_ms (int, default 60000).

Fixes #7591

* metricsexport: decouple metrics export into top-level config section

Extract metrics export from distributed_tracing into its own
metrics_export config section with independent type (otlp/grpc,
otlp/http), address, and TLS settings. This allows exporting
Prometheus metrics via OTLP without enabling tracing, and to a
different endpoint than traces.

- Extract shared TLS helpers into internal/tlsutil
- Add MetricsExport field to top-level Config
- Create internal/metricsexport package with Init, config parsing
- Remove metrics fields from distributedtracing
- Update runtime to call metricsexport.Init separately
- Move e2e tests to v1/test/e2e/metricsexport
- Add Metrics Export section to configuration docs

* go.mod: upgrade dependencies downgraded during rebase

Modules like containerd, go-sqlbuilder, OpenTelemetry, and golang.org/x/*
were at older versions than main after a rebase. Upgrade them to match or
exceed main.
