Describe the issue you're reporting

This is an encompassing issue to capture all the components using the opencensus library to generate metrics today. Migrating them to use OpenTelemetry should be a fairly quick process, and once telemetry.useOtelForInternalMetrics is stable, we should be able to move all components on this list to emit metrics with the OTel SDK

How can I help with exporter/splunkhec? What is the equivalent API to adopt?

@atoulme i'm trying to put an example together, unfortunately, the two components i started with didn't work out, one was using census without needing it (see the statsd PR) and the other, well i ended up not changing it (healthcheck extension) 😆

Will comment on here once i have an example 👍🏻

@atoulme here's an example of migrating from opencensus to otel: #29917
