Description
Currently, OpenTelemetry exponential histograms are not supported.
Starting with version [2.40.0](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v2.40.0), Prometheus released Native Histograms, which can be converted losslessly from and to Open Telemetry Exponential Histograms. It should be straightforward to convert between both formats.

Research direction
Start by locating the otel2influx entry point and its existing histogram conversion path. Read the linked Prometheus v2.40.0 Native Histograms release information alongside the OpenTelemetry exponential histogram format, then determine the conversion behavior needed in both directions. Done means otel2influx accepts and converts exponential histograms without loss.
