Similar to what we did for feature gates on #8766, we should have a clear idea on what characters we want to allow on component names and verify it.

At a minimum, we want to disallow / characters in the component name and have the component name not be empty. My proposal would be to further restrict this for now to an ASCII alphanumeric + _ identifier, starting with an ASCII alphabetic character.

This would be a breaking change, so it is needed before GA of the component package. We should do it as part of building a component.Type or a component.ID.

**Description:** 

- Adds `component.MustNewType` to create a type. This function panics if
the type has invalid characters. Add similar functions
`component.MustNewID` and `component.MustNewIDWithName`.
- Adds `component.Type.String` to recover the string
- Use `component.MustNewType`, `component.MustNewID`,
`component.MustNewIDWithName` and `component.Type.String` everywhere in
this codebase. To do this I changed `component.Type` into an opaque
struct and checked for compile-time errors.

Some notes:

1. All components currently on core and contrib follow this rule. This
is still breaking for other components.
2. A future PR will change this into a struct, to actually validate this
(right now you can just do `component.Type("anything")` to bypass
validation). I want to do this in two steps to avoid breaking contrib
tests: we first introduce this function, and after that we change into a
struct.

**Description:** 

Follow up to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/9414, adds the
same changes in `mdatagen` regarding validation of `component.Type`s.

On this PR the validation logic and templating is a bit more complex
because of subcomponents. I will add these changes back on core once
this PR is merged.

#### Description
While working on
#10495 we
discovered that there are not any restrictions on the `name` field of a
`component.ID`. There are restrictions on the `type` field introduced in
#9208. This PR adds similar restrictions to `name`.

A type must
- have at least one character,
- start with an ASCII alphabetic character and
- can only contain ASCII alphanumeric characters and '_'.

I found that we need a slightly different set of rules for name as some
tests use a digit and others use a uuid as a name. A name is still
optional, but if it's provided it must:
- have at least one character,
- start with an ASCII alphanumeric character and
- can only contain ASCII alphanumeric characters, '_', and '-'.

I'd be willing to adjust these restrictions if anyone has any opinions
on what should or should not be allowed.
