[operator] use the otelcol-k8s distribution of the collector
The OpenTelemetry Collector has a new Kubernetes-specific distribution: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-releases/tree/main/distributions/otelcol-k8s.
We should update the operator chart to use this distribution instead of Contrib since it is smaller and using Contrib is against Collector SIG best practices.
This would be a significant breaking change since we use Contrib today and the K8s distro contains many less components. Users who are expecting certain receivers to be present that aren't included in the k8s distro will break.
To transition, we can force users of the chart to explicitly set an image.
