Rate limiter (delay) in OTLP JSON File Receiver

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I use otlpjsonfile receiver to load signals from large files. The disk is fast, so hundreds of thousands of signals are loaded in a short time. After receiving I send these signals using otlphttp exporter. But it does not keep up and I get errors "sending queue is full". Of course I can increase sending_queue.queue_size, but it would be better to have an option to delay between reading subsequent signals from the file.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add optional parameter "delay" in configuration of the otlpjsonfile receiver. Default value 0 ms. The receiver should sleep for this period of time before reading next signal from the file.
