feat(autoexport): change WithFallback options signatures

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -14,6 +14,12 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.htm
 - Add client metric support to `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp`. (#4707)
 - Add peer attributes to spans recorded by `NewClientHandler`, `NewServerHandler` in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/google.golang.org/grpc/otelgrpc`. (#4873)
 
+### Changed
+
+- The fallback options in  `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/exporters/autoexport` now accept factory functions. (#4891)
+  - `WithFallbackMetricReader(metric.Reader) MetricOption` is replaced with `func WithFallbackMetricReader(func(ctx context.Context) (metric.Reader, error)) MetricOption`.
+  - `WithFallbackSpanExporter(trace.SpanExporter) SpanOption` is replaced with `WithFallbackSpanExporter(func(ctx context.Context) (trace.SpanExporter, error)) SpanOption`.
+
 ### Deprecated
 
 - The `RequestCount`, `RequestContentLength`, `ResponseContentLength`, `ServerLatency` constants in `go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp` are deprecated. (#4707)
