Change OTLP/HTTP port from 4317 to 4318 (#1839)
Related to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1816 Fixes open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1835 Some historical context: we wanted to make grpc and http use the same port and we had an open issue in the Collector to do so: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#1256 The conclusion is that there are technical hurdles that make it unfeasible: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#1256 (comment) Because of that we need to keep grpc and http ports separate. This means we need to change the spec to say that otlp/http uses port 4318. Once this PR is merged we will also need to submit for port 4318 registration with IANA like we did previously with port 4317: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1148 (comment)

| Endpoint (OTLP/HTTP) | Target to which the exporter is going to send spans or metrics. The endpoint MUST be a valid URL with scheme (http or https) and host, and MAY contain a port and path. A scheme of https indicates a secure connection. When using `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`, exporters SHOULD follow the collector convention of appending the version and signal to the path (e.g. `v1/traces` or `v1/metrics`), if not present already. The per-signal endpoint configuration options take precedence and can be used to override this behavior. See the [OTLP Specification][otlphttp-req] for more details. | `https://localhost:4317` | `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT` |

| Endpoint (OTLP/gRPC) | Target to which the exporter is going to send spans or metrics. The endpoint SHOULD accept any form allowed by the underlying gRPC client implementation. Additionally, the endpoint MUST accept a URL with a scheme of either `http` or `https`. A scheme of `https` indicates a secure connection and takes precedence over the `insecure` configuration setting. If the gRPC client implementation does not support an endpoint with a scheme of `http` or `https` then the endpoint SHOULD be transformed to the most sensible format for that implementation. | `https://localhost:4317` | `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT` |

| Insecure | Whether to enable client transport security for the exporter's gRPC connection. This option only applies to OTLP/gRPC - OTLP/HTTP always uses the scheme provided for the `endpoint`. Implementations MAY choose to not implement the `insecure` option if it is not required or supported by the underlying gRPC client implementation. | `false` | `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_INSECURE` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_SPAN_INSECURE` `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRIC_INSECURE` |
