fix: Update opentelemetry sample to use exponential histograms

[dashpole]

Description

Update the opentelemetry instrumentation sample to use exponential histograms and update the collector image version. This is the same as GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-python#364 and GoogleCloudPlatform/opentelemetry-operations-java#387.

Tested by running the quickstart myself and verifying the metrics, traces and logs.

Hi team,

I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will provide my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly understand the changes:

This pull request updates the OpenTelemetry instrumentation sample to use exponential histograms and upgrades the collector image version. The changes are based on similar updates made in the Python and Java OpenTelemetry repositories.

Intent: The primary goal is to improve the accuracy and granularity of metrics collected by the OpenTelemetry instrumentation sample by switching to exponential histograms. Additionally, updating the collector image ensures compatibility and access to the latest features and bug fixes.

Changes:

• opentelemetry/instrumentation/docker-compose.yaml: Updated the OpenTelemetry collector image version from 0.105.0 to 0.115.1 (lines 15-16). Added environment variable OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_DEFAULT_HISTOGRAM_AGGREGATION=BASE2_EXPONENTIAL_BUCKET_HISTOGRAM to enable exponential histograms (lines 9-10).
• opentelemetry/instrumentation/otel-collector-config.yaml: Added a Prometheus exporter configuration to expose metrics (lines 93-100). This allows for easier monitoring and visualization of the collected metrics.

Testing: The author reports that they tested the changes by running the quickstart and verifying metrics, traces, and logs. However, further review and testing are recommended.

I'll provide a more detailed review shortly. Thanks!

A little haiku to lighten the mood:

Histograms grow,
Data points, a clearer view,
Insights now unfold.
