Feature Request

Based on #704

Add possibility to configure default timeout for http client for OTLP exporter, at least for protobuf over http.

It can be done by creating custom http client factory as described under https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet/blob/main/src/OpenTelemetry.Exporter.OpenTelemetryProtocol/README.md?plain=1#L106-L112

Remember to document new environmental variable.

Consider separate settings for Metrics and Traces.

The env vars should be named:

  • OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT
  • OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_TIMEOUT
  • OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_TIMEOUT

Reference: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/protocol/exporter.md#configuration-options

Maybe this should be supported by the SDK?
