Ingester/Distributor: Add support for exporting cost attribution metrics

 ### Grafana Mimir
 
+* [FEATURE] Ingester/Distributor: Add support for exporting cost attribution metrics (`cortex_ingester_attributed_active_series`, `cortex_distributor_received_attributed_samples_total`, and `cortex_discarded_attributed_samples_total`) with labels specified by customers to a custom Prometheus registry. This feature enables more flexible billing data tracking. #10269
 * [CHANGE] Querier: pass context to queryable `IsApplicable` hook. #10451
 * [CHANGE] Distributor: OTLP and push handler replace all non-UTF8 characters with the unicode replacement character `\uFFFD` in error messages before propagating them. #10236
 * [CHANGE] Querier: pass query matchers to queryable `IsApplicable` hook. #10256
