Description

With the convention for component names established to lower_snake_case in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#14208 and a practical method to migrate existing components implemented in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#14349, let's establish the list of components that need their names changed.

Related issue in Collector core: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#14396

Below is a list of all components in Contrib, with new names proposed for those I thought need one.

Given the number of components, we should probably create a separate issue for each component that needs a discussion about the rename. Feel free to create issues for the components you want to discuss.
