Subject: [PATCH] [service] update telemetry level to reflect their state

This sets the level of all metrics that where not previously stabilized as
alpha. Since many of these metrics will change as a result of
https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/pull/11406, it made
sense to me to set their stability as alpha.
