Add OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) RFC (open-telemetry/oteps#35)

* Add OTLP Draft RFC OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) specification describes the encoding, transport and delivery mechanism of telemetry data between telemetry sources, intermediate nodes such as collectors and telemetry backends. * PR fixes * Make Unary gRPC the only recommended mode Experiments have shown that Streaming implementation results in significantly more complex code. The performance benefits of Streaming mode were only visible in very small batches and are not applicable to real life scenarios when under high load we aim to have large batches. In addition, one of the potential benefits that we could get with Streaming - the ability to optimize and avoid repetition of Resource does not seem to have much real life usage. As a result Streaming mode was removed from the RFC and Unary mode is the only mode that is now part of the spec. * Address review comments * Change status to approved * Address review comments
