v0.79.1

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• (Contrib) Set pkg.translator.prometheus.NormalizeName feature gate back to Alpha state since it was enabled
  prematurely. Metrics coming from Prometheus receiver will not be normalized by default, specifically _total suffix
  will not be removed from metric names. To maintain the current behavior (drop the _total suffix), you can enable
  the feature gate using the --feature-gates=pkg.translator.prometheus.NormalizeName command argument. However, note
  that the translation in the prometheus receiver is a subject to possible future changes.
