Change default OTLP port number (#1221)
* Change default OTLP port number Contributes to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1148 Note that a separate port is used for OTLP/HTTP for now. There is currently work in progress to confirm that we can use the same port. Once we have the confirmation I will update the spec again to use one port. * Address PR comments
