Histogram aggregator functional options (#1434)

* Add a Config/Option for histogram

* Just one option here

* Test fixes

* Support and test int64 histograms

* Changelog

* Lint

* Un-export three things.

 - Unify endpoint API that related to OTel exporter. (#1401)
 - Optimize metric histogram aggregator to re-use its slice of buckets. (#1435)
 - Metric aggregator Count() and histogram Bucket.Counts are consistently `uint64`. (1430)
+- Histogram aggregator accepts functional options, uses default boundaries if none given. (#1434)
 - `SamplingResult` now passed a `Tracestate` from the parent `SpanContext` (#1432)
 - Moved gRPC driver for OTLP exporter to `exporters/otlp/otlpgrpc`. (#1420)
 - The `TraceContext` propagator now correctly propagates `TraceState` through the `SpanContext`. (#1447)
