K8s Cluster receiver uses would like to monitor K8s CrashLoop Back off state. We had a multiple issues about it:

• [k8scluster] add k8s.container.status_waiting_reason metric opentelemetry-collector-contrib#32457
• k8s.pod.phase not providing correct info if my pod status is Crashbackoff look opentelemetry-collector-contrib#33797 (comment)

Previously I tried to model status.waiting as Resource attribute, but because it's mutable it cannot be Resource attribute. See #997

I would like to propose adding this as metric to unblock this PR open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-contrib#35668

Describe the solution you'd like

  # k8s.container.* metrics

    instrument: gauge
