[awskinesisexporter] Cross account support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My OTel collector is in AWS account A and my Kinesis datastream is in AWS account B. It seems the awskinesisexporter can't send metrics to the datastream in another AWS account. If I specify just the stream_name, the exporter assumes it's in the same account/region and complains that it can't find it.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, I can use the ARN of my kinesis datastream in stream_name:

exporters:
awskinesis:
aws:
stream_name: arn:aws:kinesis:REGION:ACCOUNT_ID:stream/stream_name

and as long as I have my IAM roles / policies set up correctly, the exporter should be able to talk to the kinesis datastream in the other AWS account.

Bump.

Mmm, interesting.

Makes sense. I don't think it would be too hard of a change to implement.
