Change default OpenTelemetry protocol to `http/protobuf`

[brunobat]

Description

The default OTLP protocol must be changed from grpc to http/protobuf in order to align with the specification.

There is something wrong with the span exporter when we change the protocol and the fix is too complex for https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/41521

Implementation ideas

So I assume we need https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/41521 in first?

[brunobat]

Yes we do and https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/pull/39032 as well, preferably.

👌

Isn't gRPC generally more performant than HTTP/Protobuf?

Or is this change simply to adjust the default, which can still be explicitly configured to use gRPC if desired?

[brunobat]

It is to adjust with the upstream default, @jorsol. It is was moved to HTTP and we should align. gRPC will still be available and I don't plan to implement the change anytime soon.
