Breaking changes

• [SECURITY] Remove OTLP HTTP support for TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1,
  require TLS 1.2 or better
  #2722
  • The OTLP HTTP exporter no longer accept options like:
    • min_TLS = 1.0
    • min_TLS = 1.1
    • max_TLS = 1.0
    • max_TLS = 1.1
  • When connecting to an OTLP HTTP endpoint, using https,
    the connection will require TLS 1.2 by default,
    unless min_TLS is set to 1.3
  • Plain http connections (insecure) are not affected.
