Description

The collector proxy uses a configuration key to authenticate to Honeycomb. This was the only api key type that existed when we set it up

However, honeycomb now supports Ingestion keys, which can only write data, not modify config.

We should switch the collector to using one of these keys instead.

Probably also should do the same for any other otel emitting services, e.g. job-server, opencodelists, controller, etc

Research direction

The issue names the collector proxy and possible emitters job-server, opencodelists, and controller, but no files. Start by locating their Honeycomb/OpenTelemetry authentication configuration; done means all intended services use ingestion keys and existing telemetry still works.
