Stop setting HTTP status text

[MrAlias]

In the HTTP instrumentation we need to not set the status text (they are inferable from the status code). This is to conform to open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#972

I had a look and it seems after open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#1194 no further action is necessary in the contrib repository. The method HTTPAttributesFromHTTPStatusCode from go.opentelemetry.io/otel/semconv used within HTTP instrumentation packages no longer includes status text attribute.

Is this correct?

That sounds correct. I believe the otelhttp instrumentation delegated to the semconv package for the most part, so resolving the issue there should extend to otelhttp as well.

Resolved by open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#1194 and subsequent updates here.
