Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, there is no built-in mechanism to allow the opentelemetry-collector to perform ICMP checks on a given hostname/IP.

Describe the solution you'd like

Similar to the httpcheckreceiver, a new icmpcheckreceiver could be also be useful to perform ping tests.

The goal would be to mimic some (if not all) of the functionality offered by the Prometheus blackbox_exporter icmp_probe module.

Describe alternatives you've considered
