Feature: Instrument Alertmanager for distributed tracing #3670

It'd be ideal to have Alertmanager instrumented for tracing (with OpenTelemetry), to help when operating it at scale. Prometheus is already instrumented, and so it would make sense to instrument Alertmanager in a similar way.

Once Alertmanager is instrumented, I would also like to add trace propagation over SMTP for e-mail notifications. See this PR in grafana/grafana for a related approach.

Alright! I'll get started on a PR for this.
