SigV4 Authentication support for http/protobuf exporter (#324)

*Issue #, if available:*
Adding SigV4 Authentication extension for Exporting traces to OTLP
CloudWatch endpoint without needing to explictily install the collector.

*Description of changes:*
Added a new class that extends upstream's OTLP http span exporter.
Overrides the _export method so that if the endpoint is CW, we add an
extra step of injecting SigV4 authentication to the headers.
