Ignore classpath error when otlp is set as metrics exporter but is no… (#2960)

* Ignore classpath error when otlp is set as metrics exporter but is not on the classpath since the default value is otlp but metrics is alpha.

* Update sdk-extensions/autoconfigure/src/main/java/io/opentelemetry/sdk/autoconfigure/MetricExporterConfiguration.java
