fix: Remove unused TELEMETRY_SINKS and add OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL (#4406)

Changes:
  o Remove TELEMETRY_SINKS environment variable from scripts (unused)
  o Replace with OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL in install scripts

The TELEMETRY_SINKS variable is no longer use by Python code and has
been replaced with the standard OpenTelemetry environment variable
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=http/protobuf
