Handle 2xx as success for OTLP HTTP trace and metric exporters (#4365)

* handle no content responses for otlpmetric exporter

* handle no content responses for otlptraces http exporter

* add changelog entry

* add a ResponseStatus attribute rather than using error

* accept any status code between 200 and 299

* rename i to code

* switch require to assert

* shutdown the client in defer
