Change OTLP/HTTP port from 4317 to 4318 (#1839) (#1970)
Related to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1816 Fixes open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1835 Fixes open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1920 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) There was also a draft PR to merge the ports in the Collector but it was not completed: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#3765 Note that this change was initially submitted in PR open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1839 and then reverted in PR open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1847 because we hoped that the merging could be successfully done. We believe that we should no longer pursue this and should consider the ports separate from now on. Note 2: we consider this a spec bug fix (spec was impossible to implement), rather than a functionality change, that's why we believe this is an allowed change.
