[otelarrowexporter] Support the new experimental batcher (#34802)

**Description:** Add exportbatcher.BatcherConfig to OTel-Arrow exporter.
Follows
open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#10846 as
we intend to maintain parity between OTLP/gRPC and OTel-Arrow exporters.

**Link to tracking Issue:** 

**Testing:** ✅ 

**Documentation:** README updated with reference to new batcher and
[concurrent batch
processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/otel-arrow/tree/main/collector/processor/concurrentbatchprocessor)
in the otel-arrow repo.

+### Batching Configuration
+
+This exporter includes a new, experimental `batcher` configuration for
+batching in the `exporterhelper` module, but this mode is disabled by
+default.  This batching support works when combined with
+`queue_sender` functionality.
+
+```
+exporters:
+  otelarrow:
+    batcher:
+	  enabled: true
+    sending_queue:
+      enabled: true
+      storage: file_storage/otc
+extensions:
+  file_storage/otc:
+    directory: /var/lib/storage/otc
+```
+
+The built-in batcher is only recommended with a persistent queue,
+otherwise it cannot provide back-pressure to the caller.  If building
+a custom build of the OpenTelemetry Collector, we recommend using the
+[Concurrent Batch
+Processor](https://github.com/open-telemetry/otel-arrow/blob/main/collector/processor/concurrentbatchprocessor/README.md)
+to provide simultaneous back-pressure, concurrency, and batching
+functionality.  See [more discussion on this
+issue](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/issues/10368).
+
