StatsD receiver for ingesting StatsD messages(https://github.com/statsd/statsd/blob/master/docs/metric_types.md) into the OpenTelemetry Collector. Note: This receiver does not support horizontally scaled collector deployments. It is intended to run in agent mode, where a single collector instance receives StatsD input.
