Description
Description:
This issue tracks the implementation of a new feature that allows users to specify a non-default Google Cloud universe when using the stackdriver_exporter.
Problem:
Currently, the stackdriver_exporter assumes the default googleapis.com universe for all interactions with Google Cloud services. This limits its usability for users who operate within different Google Cloud universes (e.g., s3nsapis.fr).
Solution:
This feature introduces a new command-line flag, (google.universe-domain ?), which enables users to explicitly define the Google Cloud universe they want to interact with. The default value for this flag is googleapis.com, ensuring backward compatibility.

Research direction
Start at the stackdriver_exporter entry point and trace how command-line flags configure interactions with Google Cloud services. Add the proposed universe-domain flag with googleapis.com as its default, then verify that users can select another universe without changing existing behavior.
