Changes

If you're using litellm as a library (not the proxy server) you may want to use the opentelemetry integration, but not have litellm create its own exporter. In my case, we use opentelemetry auto-instrumentation which sets up exporters for you.

If you do it this way, litellm will create its own tracer, which will be connected to the existing exporter.

FYI, I didn't update the docs yet, if the code looks good, I can do so.
