Prototype change adding a Authorization Header Setter to OTLP exporters

[DylanRussell]

This is an an alternative approach to #4431.

In order to dynamically set the authorization header a new environment variable (OTEL_AUTH_HEADER_EXTENSION) is added. The value of the variable must point to a Class provided via entry points that implements this interface:

class BaseAuthHeaderSetter(ABC):

    @abstractmethod
    def get_auth_header(self) -> Tuple[str, str]:
        pass

For example for Google we'd do something like:

class GCPAuthHeaderSetter(BaseAuthHeaderSetter):
    def __init__(self):
        self._credentials, _ = google.auth.default() # type: ignore
        self._request = requests.Request()

    def get_auth_header(self) -> Tuple[str, str]:
        if self._credentials.expired: # type: ignore
            self._credentials.refresh(self._request) # type: ignore
        return ("Authorization", f"Bearer: {self._credentials.token}") # type: ignore

The advantage to this approach over this one is that the user would only have to specify one auth header extension and it'd automatically get loaded in to all their OTLP exporters, versus having to specify a bunch of custom exporters.

I don't think either this or #4431 need to get in to achieve what you want.

For grpc exporters, you have the credentials parameter that can be used. See this.

For HTTP exporters, you can use the Session parameter, and pass to the exporter. You can use this.

@aabmass brought the argument that we shouldn't rely on coupling with requests.Session because it may be replaced by urllib3, but people already rely on that parameter, and it seems a pretty sensible option. Also, this is currently already achievable without changing anything...

You're right I don't need to add any new parameters.

What do you think of adding an exporter customizer environment variable + associated class.

The exporter customizer would take an OTLP exporter Class (log or metric or trace, HTTP or GRPC) and return an initialized instance of the class.

This way I could pass google credentials and service endpoint into all my exporters by setting a single customizer env variable

Not going with this approach anymore..
