Switch from apm-agent-go to OpenTelemetry
We currently use the internal apm-agent-go library for self-instrumentation of this service. We should migrate to OpenTelemetry, so we can support sending this self instrumentation data in OTLP format.
We don't want to make a big bang migration either. So we should set up apmotel (See #11192) to be able to switch bits one after the other and only remove the apm agent once everything has been migrated.
One unknown we need to resolve with this migration is head sampling and metrics being generated at the ingestion level.
