[chore] [receiver/mysqlreceiver] Update readme (open-telemetry#27656)

**Description:** It's not obvious from the readme that you won't get all metrics listed in metadata by default. Suggest small doc update to make it clearer. **Link to tracking Issue:** **Testing:** Observed with running collector. **Documentation:** See above. --------- Co-authored-by: Daniel Jaglowski <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Curtis Robert <[email protected]>
