Remove export timeout configuration for BatchSpanProcessor

+- *Breaking*: The `BatchSpanProcessor` no longer supports configuration of `max_export_timeout` 
+   or the `OTEL_BLRP_EXPORT_TIMEOUT` environment variable. Timeout handling is now the 
+   responsibility of the exporter.
+   For example, in the OTLP Span exporter, the export timeout can be configured using:
+   - The environment variables `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TIMEOUT` or `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_TIMEOUT`.
+   - The opentelemetry_otlp API, via `.with_tonic().with_timeout()` or `.with_http().with_timeout()`.
+  Before:
+```rust
+let processor = BatchSpanProcessor::builder(exporter)
+    .with_batch_config(
+        BatchConfigBuilder::default()
+            .with_max_queue_size(2048)
+            .with_max_export_batch_size(512)
+            .with_scheduled_delay(Duration::from_secs(5))
+            .with_max_export_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30)) // Previously configurable
+            .build(),
+    )
+    .build();
+```
+
+After:
+```rust
+let processor = BatchSpanProcessor::builder(exporter)
+    .with_batch_config(
+        BatchConfigBuilder::default()
+            .with_max_queue_size(2048)
+            .with_max_export_batch_size(512)
+            .with_scheduled_delay(Duration::from_secs(5)) // No `max_export_timeout`
+            .build(),
+    )
+    .build();
+```
