Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

With the new release of InfluxDB 3 and Enterprise there might be the need for some adjustments in both writers or maybe to create a new one.

Describe the solution you'd like

As InfluxDB 3 is going back to the InfluxQL Model it might be more suitable to update the InfluxDB Writer v1 then to rely on the backward compatibility to use the influxdbwriter v2.

As i guess a lot has changed with the release of version 3 it might be useful to update those as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Create a new feature for Version 3 ?
This depends more on how heavy the updates on Version 1/2 are or if it is more feasable to write a new exporter.

More Context

This stems from customer requests which are requesting an up2date influxdb 3 support.
