Rename WithDefaultSampler TracerProvider option to WithSampler and update docs (#1702)
* Rename WithDefaultSampler TracerProvider option to WithSampler

The term "DefaultSampler" comes from early ideas of this project where
there would be overriding samplers lower in the trace SDK. This
overriding does not exist and if it is going to be introduced in the
future the sampler associated with the TracerProvider is already scoped
based on that association (no need to scope with a name). This renames
the TracerProvider option to not include this anachronism.

* Update PR number in CHANGELOG

* Propagate rename

* Update defaults documentation for TracerProvider

* Update sdk/trace/provider.go

OpenTelemetry Collector Go Exporter

PkgGoDev

This exporter exports OpenTelemetry spans and metrics to the OpenTelemetry Collector.

Installation and Setup

The exporter can be installed using standard go functionality.

$ go get -u go.opentelemetry.io/otel/exporters/otlp

A new exporter can be created using the NewExporter function.

Retries

The exporter will not, by default, retry failed requests to the collector. However, it is configured in a way that it can be easily enabled.

To enable retries, the GRPC_GO_RETRY environment variable needs to be set to on. For example,

GRPC_GO_RETRY=on go run .

The default service config used by default is defined to retry failed requests with exponential backoff (0.3seconds * (2)^retry) with a max of 5 retries).

These retries are only attempted for reponses that are deemed "retry-able" by the collector.
