[marcalff]

As discussed in team meeting, prepare a 1.8.1 release.

Bugs targeted for 1.8.1:

• issue opentelemetry-proto local own dependency not found #1823
• issue [Build] Build break when using WITH_OTLP_HTTP=ON, WITH_OTLP_GRPC=OFF #1826

@lalitb Any other bugs to add in this list ?

Thanks @marcalff for the issue. This can be a patch release with only for #1823, and OTLP gRPC build issue.

Issue #1806 was fixed by PR #1815, already merged, so yes, this fix will be included.
