Description
### Use case
- Supports [OTel Arrow](https://github.com/open-telemetry/otel-arrow) write(ingest)
- For the user's , switch from other generic OtelSDK or Collector to InfluixDBv3 with with OTel Arrow exporter.
- While (current)otlp and line-protocol are quite different,
but OTel Arrow and InfluixDBv3 are based on the Apache Arrow.
- Expect that merging them into OTel Arrow will speed up their mutual evolution.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked OTel Arrow collector overview and comparing it with InfluxDB v3's existing line-protocol write path. The issue names no source files or tests; done means accepting OTel Arrow writes while leaving OTLP gRPC and HTTP support outside this change.
