SSM and SecretsManager Config Variable support

[driverpt]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We would like to run OTEL Collector as Lambda Layer but we need the External Provider Key to be injected from AWS SecretsManager.
The purpose is to prevent attaching Lambdas to VPC to avoid IP Exhaustion.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a custom AWS Config Provider in OTEL Config, e.g.:

receivers:
    otlp:
      protocols:
        grpc:
        http:
    exporters:
      otlp/external_provider:
        endpoint: "<external_provider_url>"
        headers:
           api-key: ${secretsmanager:${env:SECRET_ARN}}
           compression: gzip
    processors:
    extensions:
    service:
      extensions: [zpages, memory_ballast]
      pipelines:
        traces:
          receivers: [otlp]
          processors: []
          exporters: [otlp/external_provider]

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
External Providers as in DataDog, NewRelic, Splunk, etc.....

Thank you, @driverpt and certainly something we can consider for 2023.

[driverpt]

@mhausenblas , is it also possible to add AOT_CONFIG_CONTENT to Lambda?

Lambda doesn't have the ValueFrom thingy.

Ideally we would like to spin out an OTEL Collector the sameway as we do in ECS

Regarding the secretsmanager scheme on the confmap, are there any plans to bring it live in the AWS Otel collector? I see the topic has been put on closed, but this feature is somehow not available. Thanks for your support.
