The main reason is to remove the circular dependency between the config (including sub-packages) and component. Here is the current state:
* component depends on config
* config/sub-package[grpc, http, etc.] depends on config & component
Because of this "circular" dependency, we cannot split for example "config" into its own module, only if all the other config sub-packages are also split.

The main motivation for this is to allow components (including tests) to not depend on the "service" configuration and be reusable without the otelcol service.

This PR is to rename `config.NewID` to `config.NewComponentID` and `config.NewIDFromString` to `config.NewComponentIDFromString` for naming consistency.
