Addresses #397. As noted in that issue, there wasn't anything in the spec about the different scenarios in which to use simple vs. batch span processors, so I ended up making a spec PR for this as well: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#1135.
As of this writing, my spec PR has received one approval and there are no open questions or requested changes related to the differences between the two types of span processors. The documentation I'm submitting here is extracted from that PR.
