[receiver/splunkhec] Splunk HEC HTTP server returns plain text instead of JSON

What happened?

Description

splunkhec receiver's HTTP server sends response as plain text but it sets the Content-Type as application/json.

For example, if the request is successful, an actual Splunk HEC returns {"text":"Success","code":0}, but the splunkhec receiver returns OK.

We should jsonify following response message with respect to an actual Splunk HEC response:

opentelemetry-collector-contrib/receiver/splunkhecreceiver/receiver.go

Lines 46 to 53 in d9cebd5

	responseOK = "OK"
	responseInvalidMethod = `Only "POST" method is supported`
	responseInvalidEncoding = `"Content-Encoding" must be "gzip" or empty`
	responseErrGzipReader = "Error on gzip body"
	responseErrUnmarshalBody = "Failed to unmarshal message body"
	responseErrInternalServerError = "Internal Server Error"
	responseErrUnsupportedMetricEvent = "Unsupported metric event"
	responseErrUnsupportedLogEvent = "Unsupported log event"

Collector version

v0.70.0
