Add CI testing for metadata.yaml

Describe the issue you're reporting

Now that the following issue is done, we have a metadata.yaml file for all components.

This is a proposal to add a CI test to validate certain aspects of the metadata.yaml. I have separated this in two parts, one for all components, and one specific to receivers (for which the proposal has additional checks):

• Add CI testing for metadata.yaml for all components
• Add CI testing for metadata.yaml for receivers metrics

Note:

• There has already been discussions around adding a CI check in: receiver: add missing metadata.yaml files to components #19759

Update: I've separated this issue into 2 sub issues (linked in the checkbox) -- 1 for all components, and one specific to receivers.
