What does this PR do?
Remind the readers that they may need different batch sizes for batch processor for different signal types (traces/metrics/logs) when using datadog exporter.
Motivation
The previous comment and config in the batch processor only refers to the payload size limit of trace intake. When customers use the same config for metrics or logs pipeline, they may get 413 errors because metrics and logs have a smaller payload size limit than that in trace. This led to customer confusions and issues being filed in https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib.
Additional Notes
Related customer issues:
Also note that the payload size limits in metrics and logs intake are in the public document, but traces intake doesn't have a public reference.
