What happened?

Description

Today, in newReceiver function, we perform a shallow copy of the K8sObjectsConfig objects from the Config struct. Fields within these objects require a deep copy.

As per https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/pull/39469/files/2945159295b832fc7acae51b388d37041d71e9df#r2053684803, we should refactor the Config struct to separate mutable fields into a new dedicated struct type.
