[exporter/otlphttpexporter] Remove unnecessary nil assignment in defa…

…ult client config

This is a follow up to open-telemetry#11273. Although I set fields MaxIdleConns, MaxIdleConnsPerHost, MaxConnsPerHost, IdleConnTimeout to nil manually to keep backwards compatibility, it turns out that in the call to [ToClient](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/blob/main/config/confighttp/confighttp.go#L141-L166) the http.Transport defaults are used. Thus, not setting to nil will maintain the same behaviour and is not necessary.
