What this PR does:
Backport of #7322 to release-v2.9. Drops support for the OpenCensus receiver (breaking change):

  • removes the opencensus receiver from the distributor shim and the receiver_enabled_opencensus usage stat
  • prunes the now-unused opencensus dependencies from go.mod/vendor
  • removes opencensus references from docs and example configs

Why:
OpenCensus is deprecated (merged into OpenTelemetry) and the opencensusreceiver has been removed from newer opentelemetry-collector-contrib releases. Dropping it keeps v2.9 aligned with v2.10 and unblocks future dependency upgrades. Cherry-picked from 59d1429 (#7322); go.mod/vendor were regenerated against the v2.9 base.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
N/A
