This change allows for this repo to be used as part of a Go workspace. This is very useful in tandem with either opentelemetry-operations-go or opentelemetry-collector-contrib because it allows us to create a workspace with this collector and the library we want to test, add a manual replacement in the workspace for that dependency, and be able to test the collector with local copies of the dependency without changing anything.
