Describe the issue you're reporting

In the last days, new semantic conventions for k8s workloads will be established and the trend will continue for other k8s workloads as well.

These newly introduced conventions will be used in components, which are using mdatagen for generating Go code (for example kubeletstatsreceiver), but in the current state, such templating datatype is not supported (supported types here)

My suggestion would be to add template type to the list of supported types and implement the templating function in the way, that it will generate the following code:

func (rb *ResourceBuilder) SetAttrName(key, value string) {
	if rb.config.AttrName.Enabled {
		rb.res.Attributes().PutStr(AttrName+"."+key, val)
	}
}
