 - Remove unnecessarily public trait `opentelemetry_otlp::metrics::MetricsClient`
   and `MetricExporter::new(..)` method. Use
   `MetricExporter::builder()...build()` to obtain `MetricExporter`.
+- The HTTP clients (reqwest, reqwest-blocking, hyper) now support the

+  - `with_http().with_timeout()` API method of
