Add documentation to clarify that metric aggregation temporality (DELTA vs CUMULATIVE) should be configured at the SDK/exporter level using the standard OpenTelemetry configuration property otel.exporter.otlp.metrics.temporality.preference, not at the Micrometer instrumentation level.

This addresses confusion around how to configure temporality for metrics collected through the Micrometer bridge, explaining that:

  • Aggregation temporality is a data export concern, not a data collection concern
  • The Micrometer instrumentation creates metrics via the OpenTelemetry API
  • Temporality is determined by the configured metric exporter
  • SDK-level configuration affects all metrics consistently

Fixes #issue-number

hey @Arunodoy18 it's really great that you want to contribute to this project, but this is the 5th AI-generated PR you've opened, and so far none of the previous have been accepted or make a whole lot of sense. You might have a better chance of having a contribution accepted if you pick an issue that is well defined, or something that you understand. Also, I would suggest creating draft PRs until you have passing test suites. Hope this helps!
