[receiver/sqlquery] Add support for sybase database connections

receiver/sqlquery

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I've seen requests from some users seeking to monitor their Sybase databases, and would like to utilize the sqlqueryreceiver for this purpose.

Describe the solution you'd like

There is a go implementation here of a driver for SAP ASE (formerly Sybase). It does not appear to be receiving a lot of active development but also does not have any significant issues reported.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are prometheus exporters we've considered, but are interested in the opentelemetry ecosystem for this solution, and also looking for the ease of iteration offered by the query configuration in the sqlquery receiver.
