Remove pdata dependency and use proto-go instead #5789

Closed dmathieu closed 4 days ago

It's a bit weird that this autoexport package has a dependency on the collector (well, pdata). I believe it makes more sense to use proto-go.

pdata also has a rather high release cadence, even though it isn't modified very frequently. So this change should slightly reduce the number of renovabot PRs.

Possibly, we could also move those tests into a test submodule, so there is no indirect dependency on grpc for folks using this.
