Fixes open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#12554
Currently, it is pretty tedious and error-prone to generate valid test profiles.
This PR adds Go structs and transform functions for profiles types that allow creating valid test cases in a human readable way. It also takes care for some semantics that make a profile valid, for example that the first entry in the string table is the empty string.
Here is an example from
profiles_test.go
Before (this produces an invalid profile, btw)
After
where
basicProfiles()
is a helper function that creates a basic testProfiles
.Planned a follow-up PR with a validator for profiles (working locally already).
