Dónal O'SullivanandGitHub 1d695d9528 [mdatagen] Add semconv reference for attributes in metadata schema (#14646)
#### Description

This PR adds support in mdatagen for defining semantic conventions
references for attributes.

Updating your attribute in `metadata.yaml`:

```yaml
attributes:
  state:
    description: Breakdown of memory usage by type.
    type: string
    enum: [buffered, cached, inactive, free, slab_reclaimable, slab_unreclaimable, used]
    semantic_convention:
      ref: system.md#system-memory-state
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This work also updates the `semantic_convention: ref:` to use a
relative URL, this was done as we want to ensure the same semconv
version from the metadata schema is used, otherwise the end user could
have a full url in `ref` with one semconv version and the schema version
being a different version. A new method has been introduced in mdatagen
that builds the semconv url at runtime.

Creates this table in the generated docs for that component:

#### Attributes

| Name | Description | Values | Requirement Level | Semantic Convention
|
| ---- | ----------- | ------ | ----------------- | -------------------
|
| state | Breakdown of memory usage by type. | Str: ``buffered``,
``cached``, ``inactive``, ``free``, ``slab_reclaimable``,
``slab_unreclaimable``, ``used`` | Recommended |
[state](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/v1.38.0/docs/registry/attributes/system.md#system-memory-state)
|

<!-- Issue number if applicable -->
#### Link to tracking issue
This work is linked to #13297 but doesn't close it.

<!--Describe what testing was performed and which tests were added.-->
#### Testing 

- loader_test.go was updated with attributes for `cpu` and `state`.
- Also `cmd/mdatagen/internal/samplereciever` was updated and generate
code created which creates tests.

<!--Describe the documentation added.-->
#### Documentation

The documentation template has been updated to reference the semconv
definition for attributes if provided in the schema.

Feature Gates

This component has the following feature gates:

Feature Gate Stage Description From Version To Version Reference
receiverhelper.newReceiverMetrics alpha Controls whether receivers emit new metrics and span attributes to distinguish downstream errors from internal errors. This is a breaking change for the semantics of the otelcol_receiver_refused_metric_points, otelcol_receiver_refused_log_records and otelcol_receiver_refused_spans. v0.138.0 N/A Link

For more information about feature gates, see the Feature Gates documentation.
