An indirect dependency on xexporterhelper, pointing to an older version, breaks the go build. The fix is to update all otel packages to 0.121.0 which should have uniform imports. This is because xexporterhelper is new, I guess.

Fixed with the 0.121 release http://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib/actions/runs/13653667564/job/38167750417
