[otelcol] add converters to components command (#12385)

<!--Ex. Fixing a bug - Describe the bug and how this fixes the issue.
Ex. Adding a feature - Explain what this achieves.-->
#### Description
Adds list of Converters to command `components`. Additionally, if this
is accepted, Converters must now implement `Type()` function as part of
interface. Given that there are no public converters in core or contrib
repos, I didn't feel like this would be a controversial change, and it
would be very easy for any private users of this interface to update
their code to support it.
