Add Sematext Exporter: Initial Structure

Description

This PR introduces the foundational structure for the Sematext Exporter component. It establishes the necessary files and configurations to set up the exporter without including its full implementation. The goal is to create a clear and reviewable framework for the component, with subsequent PRs to handle the full implementation and additional functionality.

This is how the first PR for Doris Exporter looked like:
open-telemetry#33790
The main details should actually go to the issue, not the PRs, once we are sure everything is good with logs support I will update our issue with information from the logs side of things
