Change OTLP/HTTP port from 4317 to 4318

Related to #1816
Fixes #1835

Some historical context: we wanted to make grpc and http use the same port and we
had an open issue in the Collector to do so:
open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#1256

The conclusion is that there are technical hurdles that make it unfeasible:
open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector#1256 (comment)

Because of that we need to keep grpc and http ports separate. This means we need to
change the spec to say that otlp/http uses port 4318. Once this PR is merged we
will also need to submit for port 4318 registration with IANA like we did previously
with port 4317:
