Document how to configure alternative load balancers for OTel collectors

The OTel collector output by the builder does not exactly allow the user to configure alternative gRPC load balancers, to do so would require a custom extension. The builder could easily be extended with a new section of _-import block to bring in Go modules that register gRPC load balancers, which would allow other (better) load balancers to be used.

The out-of-the-box OTel Collector supports only round_robin and pick_first.
