[Bug]: The OTLP Json File Exported format is supported but .jsonl files are not accepted

[joffrey-bion]

What happened?

I tried to import OTLP traces in the JSON lines format, as described here:
#2225

But Jaeger UI doesn't seem to accept files with .jsonl extension (for drag and drop and via the file chooser), so I have to rename the file or manually force the file chooser to let me choose .jsonl files.

The preferred .jsonl extension is described in the OTEL File Exporter docs:
https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/protocol/file-exporter/#json-lines-file

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a file sample.jsonl (note the extension!) with the sample contents from [Bug]: Importing OTLP "File Exporter" JSON fails #2225:

2. Launch Jaeger UI and switch to the Upload tab
3. Try to drag and drop the file - nothing happens
4. Click on the drop area to open the file chooser: .json is preselected as extension and the file chooser doesn't see .jsonl files

Expected behavior

Drag-n-drop should work for .jsonl files, and the file chooser should show jsonl files as well as json by default.

SDK

OpenTelemetry Java + OtlpJsonLoggingSpanExporter

Pipeline

This a CLI application. We use OpenTelemetry to collect metrics about each run and log traces into a .jsonl file with the OtlpJsonLoggingSpanExporter. We then run Jaeger UI locally (with the jaeger all-in-one jar), and import the files by hand.
