Adds support for the opentelemetry exceptions semantic conventions. In
short, this has RecordError produce an exception event with exception
attributes instead of using the error event and error attributes.
While golang does not have exceptions, the spec itself does not
differentiate between errors and exceptions for recording purposes.
RecordError was kept as the method name, both for backwards
compatibility and to reduce confusion (the method signature takes in a
golang error object). The spec appears to allow this, as it suggests the
method is optional and signature may reflect whatever is most appropriate
for the language implementing it.
It may seem non-intuitive to log an exception event from a method called
RecordError, but it's beneficial to have consistent behavior across all
opentelemetry SDKs. Downstream projects like the opentelemetry-collector
can build off of the published API and not special case behaviors from
individual languages.
* Update Span API event methods
Remove the context argument from the event methods. It is unused and can
be added back in as a passed option if needed in the future.
Update AddEvent to accept a required name and a set of options. These
options are the new EventOption type that can be used to configure a
SpanConfig Timestamp and Attributes.
Remove the AddEventWithTimestamp method as it is redundant to calling
AddEvent with a WithTimestamp option.
Update RecordError to also accept the EventOptions.
