Please describe the feature.

Related to: #42850

When using Application Insights SDK, the location IP field is set by default. When using Azure.Monitor.OpenTelemetry.AspNetCore, users need to enable this collection by setting client.address attribute on the activity using Enrich or processor. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/opentelemetry-add-modify?tabs=aspnetcore#set-the-user-ip.

@vishweshbankwar @onionhammer I've logged an issue on the underlying OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore SDK since that's where the root cause lies: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-dotnet-contrib#2231

While it's true this could be worked-around by the AzureMonitor distro, I agree with the assessment on #42850 that it's probably ideal if it were fixed in the underlying SDK.
