The gRPC exporter silently drops path components from configured endpoints, which can lead to confusion when users expect HTTP behavior. This change adds a clear warning when an endpoint with a non-trivial path is provided. The warning: - Only triggers when parsed_url.netloc exists and path is not empty/slash-only - Avoids false positives on scheme-less 'host:port' endpoints - Directs users to the HTTP exporter if they need path support Fixes open-telemetry#3619
