I want to use client cert authentification (mtls) between an application instrumented with python opentelemetry-sdk and otel-collector with otlp protocol but this cannot be configured (at least from env).
Describe the solution you'd like
I want the posibility to configure mtls with OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE and OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CLIENT_KEY env variables like specified in opentelemetry specification.
Additional context
The specific version ot thoses variables for metrics (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE and OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_CLIENT_KEY) have been added in #2968 but not seem to be used.
