feat: [Java] EMF Exporter Implementation

[liustve]

Description of changes:
Java Version of these PRs:

• Add CloudWatch EMF exporter foundation with basic Gauge support aws-otel-python-instrumentation#382
• Extend CloudWatch EMF exporter with Sum and Histogram support aws-otel-python-instrumentation#409
• Add CloudWatch EMF exporter integration aws-otel-python-instrumentation#410
• Fix EMF exporter to generate EMF metrics with dimension empty aws-otel-python-instrumentation#434

This PR introduces the complete CloudWatch EMF (Embedded Metric Format) exporter implementation for sending OpenTelemetry metrics directly to CloudWatch without requiring a Collector or Agent.

In order to enable this exporter, users MUST set the following environment variables:

• OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=awsemf -
• OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_HEADERS=x-aws-log-group=<log-group-name>,x-aws-log-stream=<log-stream-name>, x-aws-metric-namespace=<namespace>
• AWS_REGION=<region> OR AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<region>

This PR includes:

• EMF MetricRecord translation for for unified representation of all OTel metric types with log creation with unit mapping from OpenTelemetry to CloudWatch-compatible units
• Automatic log group and stream creation with retry logic
• Supported CloudWatch Logs integration with batching and constraint handling (256KB event limit, 1MB request limit, timestamp limits)
• Support for metric grouping by attributes and timestamps for EMF log generation
• Support for Gauge, Sum, Histogram, and ExponentialHistogram metric types

TODO:

• On the next PR, will integrate the Console EMF exporter into AWS Lambda environments to validate EMF log formatting and ensure consistent behavior in Lambda runtime: Support export OTel metrics to be EMF in starndard output aws-otel-python-instrumentation#437

Testing:

• Added unit tests to validate EMF exporter configuration scenarios, including parameterized tests for both valid configurations (supporting AWS_REGION and AWS_DEFAULT_REGION) and invalid configurations (missing headers, wrong exporter type, missing region). The tests ensure the EMF exporter is correctly enabled only when all required environment variables are properly configured.

• Manual end to end testing with the following environment variables to ensure the EMF logs show up:

  • AWS_REGION=us-east-1
  • OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=awsemf
  • OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_HEADERS=x-aws-log-group=test,x-aws-log-stream=default,x-aws-metric-namespace=testNamespace
  • OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES=service.name=testService,aws.log.group.names=test,cloud.resource_id=agent-12345
  • OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=none
  • OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER=none
