New component: STEF receiver

[atoulme]

The purpose and use-cases of the new component

#37352 introduces a STEF exporter which introduces a new way to export data using STEF, an efficient serialization protocol.

This issue captures the need to build a STEF receiver which can interpret STEF data.

An existing receiver exists at https://github.com/splunk/stef/tree/main/otelcol/internal/stefreceiver and can be adopted into this repository.

Example configuration for the component

// Config defines configuration for STEF receiver.
type Config struct {
	configgrpc.ServerConfig `mapstructure:",squash"`
}

receivers:
  stef:
    endpoint: localhost:8886

Telemetry data types supported

all
