Trying to update core to latest returns the following error:

@mx-psi looks like this may require us to revert the change to make featuregates its own module, as far as i can tell, this happens because there's still modules that import the released version of go.opentelemetry.io/collector

I fixed this manually after running make update-otel by doing

make for-all CMD="go mod edit -require=go.opentelemetry.io/collector/internal/featuregates@v0.0.0-20240705161705-b127da089038 "
make gotidy

and it looks like it worked. PTAL at #33977! :)
