[exporter/awscloudwatchlogsexporter] Improve performance of the awscl…

…oudwatchlogs exporter (open-telemetry#26692) Adds support to the to parallelism in the awscloudwatchlogs exporter by leveraging the [exporter helper](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/exporter/exporterhelper/README.md). In this PR, we are adding support to the `num_consumers` configuration in the `sending_queue`. This will allow users to specify the number of consumers that will consume from the sending_queue in parallel. It is possible and straightforward to use this approach because CloudWatch logs [no longer requires that you use a token to control access to the stream that you are writing to](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/01/amazon-cloudwatch-logs-log-stream-transaction-quota-sequencetoken-requirement/). You can write to the same stream in parallel. To achieve this, this PR does the following: * Create Pusher that is able to push to multiple streams at the same time. * Move lifecycle of the Pusher to the function that is used to consume from the sending queue. This allows you to safely send to multiple streams at the same time without any resource contention since each call to consume logs will not share resources with others that are happening in parallel (one exception is the creation of log streams). Besides that I analyzed the code and removed other limitations: * locks that were not necessary * Limiter that was used to limit the number of requests per stream to 5 per second. [The TPS is much higher now and is per account.](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/01/amazon-cloudwatch-logs-log-stream-transaction-quota-sequencetoken-requirement/) ** How to review this PR: ** The first 3 commits in this PR were used to refactor the code before making the real changes. Please use the commits to simplify the review process. **Link to tracking Issue:** open-telemetry#26360 **Testing:** - Unit tests were added. - Tested locally sending logs to cloudwatch logs. **Documentation:** Documentation was added describing the new parameters. --------- Signed-off-by: Raphael Silva <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Anthony Mirabella <[email protected]>

Keys must be between 1-128 characters and follow the regex pattern: `^([\p{L}\p{Z}\p{N}_.:/=+\-@]+)$`(alphanumerics, whitespace, and _.:/=+-!).
