Hengfei Yang 9c82beeeed fix: OTLP/JSON metrics silently dropping histograms and int values (#12615)
Close #12345

## Problem

OTLP histogram metrics sent over HTTP/JSON (e.g. otel-collector with
`encoding: json`) created streams but stored 0 events, with no
`_count`/`_sum`/`_bucket` streams. Int-valued counters/gauges were
silently recorded as 0. The protobuf path was unaffected, which is why
this only surfaced for collectors explicitly configured with JSON
encoding.

## Root cause

`otlp_json` deserializes the body directly into opentelemetry-proto's
serde-derived types, which only partially implement the proto3 JSON
mapping (64-bit integers encoded as strings, enums by name, zero/empty
fields omitted). `Metric.data` is a flattened `Option` oneof, and serde
converts any inner deserialization error of a flattened `Option` into
`None` instead of failing — so the whole metric silently became `data:
None`, while the stream itself had already been created by the schema
setup. Same mechanism on `NumberDataPoint.value` turned string `asInt`
values into 0.

## Changes

- Upgrade opentelemetry stack 0.31 → 0.32, which fixes string-encoded
u64 handling for plain histograms and summaries upstream.
- Add `otlp_json_compat` normalizer for the gaps still present in 0.32
(each verified empirically, with unit tests):
  - string `asInt` values on data points and exemplars
  - `aggregationTemporality` as enum name
  - `Exemplar`'s value oneof is not flattened in 0.32
- missing `serde(default)` on
`ExponentialHistogramDataPoint`/`Buckets`/`ValueAtQuantile`/`Exemplar`,
which rejected omitted zero/empty fields
- Count and log metrics whose data oneof failed to decode
(`partial_success.rejected_data_points`) instead of silently skipping
them, and stop overwriting specific partial-success error messages with
the generic retention message.
- Adapt to OTLP 0.32 API additions (`KeyValue.key_strindex`,
`AnyValue::StringValueStrindex`).
- Upgrade workspace reqwest 0.12 → 0.13, required because
opentelemetry-http 0.32 only implements `HttpClient` for reqwest 0.13
(`rustls` feature replaces `rustls-tls-native-roots` via the platform
verifier; `json`/`query`/`form` are now explicit features). The
`segment` crate is pinned to reqwest 0.12, so `TELEMETRY_CLIENT` moved
into `telemetry.rs` as a plain `reqwest::Client` that posts the Track
message itself, replicating `segment::HttpClient::send`.
- Remove the unused pyroscope profiling integration (optional feature,
dependencies, agent setup, `ZO_PROF_PYROSCOPE_*` config).

## Verification

- 10 unit tests in `otlp_json_compat` covering the full payload matrix
(collector-style string integers, enum names, omitted zero fields,
exemplars with and without trace context, already-normalized payloads,
malformed input).
- End-to-end: posted the issue's collector-style JSON payload to
`/api/default/v1/metrics` — `_bucket` (3 events, correct cumulative
counts with exemplars attached), `_count`, `_sum` populated for
histogram and exponential histogram, summary quantiles stored, `asInt`
counter stored as 42 instead of 0.
- `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` clean; lib test failures are
pre-existing local-environment issues that reproduce identically on
main.
