Add initial OTLP ingestion docs

We still need a guide that we can link users to in https://github.com/prometheus/docs/tree/main/content/docs/guides
This guide should show sending metrics from application directly via
the OTel SDKs and also sending through the Collector.

## OTLP Receiver
`--enable-feature=otlp-write-receiver`
The OTLP receiver allows Prometheus to accept [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) metrics writes.
Prometheus is best used as a Pull based system, and staleness, `up` metric, and other Pull enabled features
won't work when you push OTLP metrics.

## OTLP Receiver
Prometheus can be configured as a receiver for the OTLP Metrics protocol. This
is not considered an efficient way of ingesting samples. Use it
with caution for specific low-volume use cases. It is not yet suitable for
replacing the ingestion via scraping yet.
Enable the OTLP receiver by the feature flag
`--enable-feature=otlp-write-receiver`. When enabled, the OTLP receiver
endpoint is `/otlp/v1/metrics`.
