[receiver/googlecloudpubsub] Add support for encoding extensions (#37109

) (#37137)

#### Description
Added support for encoding extensions. Setting the encoding field in the
config now references the extension. If it didn't find the extension, it
will fall back to searching the internal encoders.

To make the build in encoders consistent with the extensions, they now
have the same interface.

#### Link to tracking issue
Fixes #37109

#### Testing
- Added tests for the receiver to handle the new extensions and the
build in encoders
- Removed the tests in the configuration, as they are now handled in the
receiver tests

#### Documentation
Reworked the encoding section of the README, with an example of a
text_encoding extension

 ## Encoding
 
-You should not need to set the encoding of the subscription as the receiver will try to discover the type of the data
-by looking at the `ce-type` and `content-type` attributes of the message. Only when those attributes are not set 
-must the `encoding` field in the configuration be set. 
+The `encoding` options allows you to specify Encoding Extensions for decoding messages on the subscription. An
+extension need to be configured in the `extensions` section, and added to pipeline in the collectors configuration file.

+The following example shows how to use the text encoding extension for ingesting arbitrary text message on a 
+subscription, wrapping them in OTLP Log messages. Note that not all extensions support all signals.
+
+```yaml
+extensions:
+  text_encoding:
+    encoding: utf8
+    unmarshaling_separator: "\r?\n"
+
+service:
+  extensions: [text_encoding]
+  pipelines:
+    logs:
+      receivers: [googlecloudpubsub]
+      processors: []
+      exporters: [debug]
+```
 
-When the `encoding` configuration is set, the attributes on the message are ignored.
+The receiver also supports build in encodings for the native OTLP encodings, without the need to specify an Encoding 
+Extensions. The non OTLP build in encodings will be deprecated as soon as extensions for the formats are available.

 With `cloud_logging`, the receiver can be used to bring Cloud Logging messages into an OpenTelemetry pipeline. You'll
 first need to [set up a logging sink][sink-docs] with a Pub/Sub topic as its destination. Note that the `cloud_logging`
 integration is considered **alpha** as the semantic convention on some of the conversion are not stabilized yet.
 
 With `raw_text`, the receiver can be used for ingesting arbitrary text message on a Pubsub subscription, wrapping them
-in OTLP Log messages, making it a convenient way to ingest raw log lines from Pubsub.
+in OTLP Log messages.
+
+When no encoding is specified, the receiver will try to discover the type of the data by looking at the `ce-type` and
+`content-type` attributes of the message. These message attributes are set by the `googlepubsubexporter`.
