[Hybrid Agent] Add Retry Support for OTel Metrics #2958

Description

@jasonjkeller

Add retry support for OTel metrics adhering to agent spec: https://source.datanerd.us/agents/agent-specs/blob/main/otel_bridge/Metrics.md

Our agents automatically retry sending data to New Relic when there are errors sending data to New Relic. Agents should either enable the built in retry mechanisms in the OTLP exporter, or implement an appropriate retry handler into the OTLP exporter.

Each language seems to document how to enable retry behaviors differently (some have built-in retry support, and others require writing code), so part of this work is a discovery phase of what retry mechanisms exist for configuring the Java SDK. https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/java/configuration/
