Add selector of exemplar reservoir providers to metric.Stream configuration (#5861)
Resolve https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/issues/5249

### Spec

> exemplar_reservoir: A functional type that generates an exemplar
reservoir a MeterProvider will use when storing exemplars. This
functional type needs to be a factory or callback similar to aggregation
selection functionality which allows different reservoirs to be chosen
by the aggregation.

> Users can provide an exemplar_reservoir, but it is up to their
discretion. Therefore, the stream configuration parameter needs to be
structured to accept an exemplar_reservoir, but MUST NOT obligate a user
to provide one. If the user does not provide an exemplar_reservoir
value, the MeterProvider MUST apply a [default exemplar
reservoir](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/metrics/sdk.md#exemplar-defaults).

Also,

> the reservoir MUST be given the Attributes associated with its
timeseries point either at construction so that additional sampling
performed by the reservoir has access to all attributes from a
measurement in the "offer" method.

### Changes

In sdk/metric/exemplar, add:
* `exemplar.ReservoirProvider`
* `exemplar.HistogramReservoirProvider`
* `exemplar.FixedSizeReservoirProvider`

In sdk/metric, add:
* `metric.ExemplarReservoirProviderSelector` (func Aggregation ->
ReservoirProvider)
* `metric.DefaultExemplarReservoirProviderSelector` (our default
implementation)
* `ExemplarReservoirProviderSelector` added to `metric.Stream`

Note: the only required public types are
`metric.ExemplarReservoirProviderSelector` and
`ExemplarReservoirProviderSelector` in `metric.Stream`. Others are for
convenience and readability.

### Alternatives considered

#### Add ExemplarReservoirProvider directly to metric.Stream, instead of
ExemplarReservoirProviderSelector

This would mean users can configure a `func() exemplar.Reservoir`
instead of a `func(Aggregation) func() exemplar.Reservoir`.

I don't think this complies with the statement: `This functional type
needs to be a factory or callback similar to aggregation selection
functionality which allows different reservoirs to be chosen by the
aggregation.`. I'm interpreting "allows different reservoirs to be
chosen by the aggregation" as meaning "allows different reservoirs to be
chosen **based on the** aggregation", rather than meaning that the
aggregation is somehow choosing the reservoir.

### Future work

There is some refactoring I plan to do after this to simplify the
interaction between the internal/aggregate and exemplar package. I've
omitted that from this PR to keep the diff smaller.
