Summary

As "a user collecting metrics with OpenTelemetry"
I want "to send metrics about backups to my observability stack"
So that "I can monitor the success of backups"

Context

Currently, k8up supports sending metrics to prometheus's pushgateway via a promUrl. However, many users may not be using this specific metrics stack.

OpenTelemetry is a different, widely used and open metrics standard, that allows for exporting metrics to a much wider range of destinations. They are also a CNCF project.

It'd be great for k8up to support sending metrics to the OpenTelemetry collector, so that users can send on metrics to whatever downstream services they want (e.g. Prometheus without a pushgateway, Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, Amazon CloudWatch, many others...).
