datadogexporter: read response body on pushSketches (#36779)

<!--Ex. Fixing a bug - Describe the bug and how this fixes the issue.
Ex. Adding a feature - Explain what this achieves.-->
#### Description

The pushSketches function in the datadogexporter does not read the
contents of the HTTP response's Body on return.

The Go documentation states that the full response body from the http
request should be read and closed to ensure that connections can be
properly re-used: https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Client.Do

We saw this manifest as a high load of incoming metric traffic through
the exporter creating a connection per request and essentially killing
platform infrastructure (proxy, DNS) as a result.


<!--Describe what testing was performed and which tests were added.-->
#### Testing

No additional testing added. Fix is running to great effect in private
internal fork at extremely high scale.
