Provide simple way to identify output support for logs, metrics, traces

[patrick-stephens]

Currently it's not clear how to figure out what events a specific plugin supports.

Which plugins support metrics, which support logs and which support traces?

[mheffner]

One potential example is the vector docs that list the supported input types and output types as badge labels on sinks and sources, respectively.

Yeah I was thinking something like that or a table but I'm not an expert in the technical writing domain so leaving it with @eschabell :)

I've been looking at this for awhile now... still thinking about it. Wanted to let you know it's not ignored @mheffner and @patrick-stephens .
