What does this PR do?
This PR adds a new documentation page for the APM config connector (
apmconfigextension), a core Elastic-provided component included in the EDOT Collector distribution.This documentation is based on the upstream Elastic component located here:
https://github.com/elastic/opentelemetry-collector-components/tree/main/extension/apmconfigextension
Why is it important?
The APM config connector is the core mechanism enabling EDOT SDK central configuration using OpAMP. It currently lacks standalone documentation in the Elastic docs.

I used Claude 4.5 Sonnet to modify my first draft to keep the style and conventions used in other components docs. I then edited the output again for minor style issues and accuracy.
