Description: This PR adds support for the exponential histograms for the
experimental_scale_value
in the metricstransformprocessor.The scaling works by scaling the middle value of the first bucket (the one that corresponds to the offset) and finding the offset corresponding to this new value (the method used is described here: https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/metrics/data-model/#all-scales-use-the-logarithm-function).
The buckets are actually unchanged because they are "shifted" by the new offset. I initially remapped all the values but I ended up always having the same buckets so I left the buckets untouched to make the code simpler and save on performance.
