What happened?

Description

I noticed that the label app.kubernetes.io/version of the created collector workloads (DaemonSet, ...) always has the value latest, even though I configured the operator with this CLI option:

--collector-image=ghcr.io/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.129.1

It looks like the operator only uses the .spec.image attribut of the CR to generate this label and fallbacks to latest if not specified there, even when a global default image has been set.

This is an issue because the Otel Collector uses this label to determine the service.version resource attribute.

Steps to Reproduce

• Deploy the operator with the option shown option.
• Do not set .spec.image in the OpenTelemetryCollector custom resource.

Expected Result

The label should be app.kubernetes.io/version: '0.129.1'.

Actual Result

The label is app.kubernetes.io/version: 'latest'.
