Description

Based on the latest release of open-telemetry for python it is possible to generate proto to be compatible with 3 and 4.

https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/releases/tag/v1.15.0

I would really like to have the same compatibility for contrib packages.

Research direction

Start with the opentelemetry-exporter-prometheus-remote-write package and compare its protobuf generation setup with the linked opentelemetry-python release and pull request. Identify the generated-protobuf compatibility change required there, then verify that the exporter works with both protobuf 3 and 4.
