Ability to create metrics from logs in otelcol component

[yann-soubeyrand]

Request

When receiving logs through otelcol.receiver.otlp, sometime we need to create metrics from the logs. Currently there seem to be no way to do this, whereas upstream OpenTelemetry Collector has what they call connectors to do it. It could be great if Alloy had this feature too.

Use case

Sometime, we’d like to have metrics with the count of certain logs.
