[ENHANCEMENT] Support application/json for OTLP

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
By default some exporters just use JSON instead of protos. Right now we reject these mime types but for ease of use we should allow them.

Example:

{"stack":"OTLPExporterError: Unsupported Media Type\n    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/Users/mikeldking/work/arize/arizeweb/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]_@[email protected]/node_modules/@opentelemetry/otlp-exporter-base/src/platform/node/util.ts:89:25)\n    at /Users/mikeldking/work/arize/arizeweb/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]_@[email protected]/node_modules/@opentelemetry/context-async-hooks/src/AbstractAsyncHooksContextManager.ts:75:49\n    at AsyncLocalStorage.run (node:async_hooks:335:14)\n    at AsyncLocalStorageContextManager.with (/Users/mikeldking/work/arize/arizeweb/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]_@[email protected]/node_modules/@opentelemetry/context-async-hooks/src/AsyncLocalStorageContextManager.ts:40:36)\n    at IncomingMessage.contextWrapper (/Users/mikeldking/work/arize/arizeweb/node_modules/.pnpm/@[email protected]_@[email protected]/node_modules/@opentelemetry/context-async-hooks/src/AbstractAsyncHooksContextManager.ts:75:26)\n    at IncomingMessage.emit (node:events:526:35)\n    at IncomingMessage.emit (node:domain:488:12)\n    at endReadableNT (node:internal/streams/readable:1589:12)\n    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:82:21)","message":"Unsupported Media Type","name":"OTLPExporterError","data":"Unsupported content type: application/json","code":"415"}

Hi @mikeldking, can I know some tests related to this and a bit more description of the issue?

[mikeldking]

@pbadhe give one of the HTTP OTEL exporters a try (maybe nodejs) with Phoenix. You will notice that if the HTTP exporter uses JSON, phoenix rejects the spans (e.g. the header MIME type will be rejected).

Here's a related ticket in OTEL that might give you a better sense of the scope open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python#1003
