Description of changes

OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_ENDPOINT is a standard environment variable used by OTLP SDKs. This updates our metric exporter set up so that this value is properly consumed if set.

How are these changes tested?

• Tests pass locally with pytest for python, yarn test for js, cargo test for rust

Documentation Changes

Are all docstrings for user-facing APIs updated if required? Do we need to make documentation changes in the docs repository?
