Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The DeepEval Haystack integration currently limits users to the metrics explicitly supported by the integration, preventing use of custom DeepEval metrics.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow users to pass custom DeepEval metrics to the evaluator component, alongside the existing built-in metrics.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Running custom DeepEval metrics outside the Haystack evaluation pipeline.

Additional context
DeepEval supports implementing custom metrics, so exposing this capability would make the integration more flexible and extensible.
