v1.0.1/v0.92.0

exporters/sending_queue: Do not re-enqueue failed batches, rely on the retry_on_failure strategy instead. (#8382)
The current re-enqueuing behavior is not obvious and cannot be configured. It takes place only for persistent queue
and only if retry_on_failure::enabled=true even if retry_on_failure is a setting for a different backoff retry
strategy. This change removes the re-enqueuing behavior. Consider increasing retry_on_failure::max_elapsed_time
to reduce chances of data loss or set it to 0 to keep retrying until requests succeed.
confmap: Make the option WithErrorUnused enabled by default when unmarshaling configuration (#7102)
The option WithErrorUnused is now enabled by default, and a new option WithIgnoreUnused is introduced to ignore
errors about unused fields.
status: Deprecate ReportComponentStatus in favor of ReportStatus. This new function does not return an error. (#9148)

service: Enable telemetry.useOtelForInternalMetrics by updating the flag to beta (#7454)
The metrics generated should be consistent with the metrics generated

collector start.
