Add preserve_names configuration to the OpenTelemetry exporter. When enabled, metric names are passed through exactly as the user wrote them instead of stripping _total and unit suffixes. - Add preserve_names to ExporterOpenTelemetryProperties - MetricDataFactory uses originalName + preserve_names to decide naming - OtelAutoConfig wires the new property - Tests for preserve_names with units, unit-in-name, and without unit Part of #1942 Signed-off-by: Gregor Zeitlinger <gregor.zeitlinger@grafana.com>
