Move Makefile common targets to Makefile.Common about opentelemetry-collector-contrib HOT 5 CLOSED

@pjanotti perhaps we can remove makefiles from individual component directories? Are they needed if there is a full build now?

from opentelemetry-collector-contrib.

I agree. We should remove the individual ones. If the components need some special targets, we can add them to root makefile and have an argument that allows users to run targets against a component. Something like make test-component COMPONENT='receiver/zipkin'

This is a convenience in order to avoid full build as the number of components increases, it can be replaced by adding targets but it seems simpler to simply factor out the common parts and have Makefile using some of the same targets from common.

I think my initial description gave the impression about keeping them in sync, that was not my intention: the intention is to have a single source for the common targets.

Edited the initial description.
