[receiver/filelog] Fix bug in delete_after_read (open-telemetry#31384)

Fixes open-telemetry#31383

This enhances `TestDeleteAfterRead` in a way that replicates the
problem, and fixes the issue by retaining metadata on a reader until the
exported `Close` function is called. Previously, we were removing the
metadata when `delete` called `Close`, but this precluded the
opportunity for the caller of `ReadToEnd` to properly manage file
metadata after deletion.
