**Description:** Adds a `flatten` function that allows flattening maps. I went with an editor instead of a converter, but I'm open to debate. Using an editor means that a user can do `flatten(body) where IsMap(body)` instead of `set(body, Flatten(body)) where IsMap(body). When using ParseJson you have to do: ``` - merge_maps(cache, ParseJSON(body), "upsert") - flatten(cache) ``` instead of `merge_maps(cache, Flatten(ParseJSON(body)), "upsert")`. Ultimately I went with an editor for similar reasons that `merge_maps` is an editor: chaining too many functions together is messy and updating maps is very fast with pdata. The function supports 2 optional parameters, `prefix` and `depth`. Use `prefix` to add a "namespace" to the values that are being flattened. Use `depth` to prevent trying to flatten maps that are too deep. See the function doc for examples. **Link to tracking Issue:** <Issue number if applicable> Closes open-telemetry#29283 **Testing:** <Describe what testing was performed and which tests were added.> Added new unit and e2e tests. Please scrutinize. **Documentation:** <Describe the documentation added.> Added function doc. --------- Co-authored-by: Evan Bradley <11745660+evan-bradley@users.noreply.github.com>
