Set the exactOptionalPropertyTypes tsconfig option

[googol]

Since typescript 4.4 this new tsconfig option has been available, to clarify the difference between { foo: string | undefined } and { foo?: string }. This would be a beneficial option for me to enable in my project, but I cannot as the opentelemetry typings don't typecheck correctly with option.

Affected files that I'm seeing:

• This only affects the JavaScript OpenTelemetry library
• This may affect other libraries, but I would like to get opinions here first

Bumping to keep this alive. This is still desired

We talked about this in the SIG meeting and we are generally in favor of this, assuming it doesn't cause issues. I'm going to mark this as up for grabs and PRs will be welcome.
