PoC OpenTelemetry - tracing

[a-thaler]

Description

That is the first piece to solve #10119

Motivation:

• build up knowledge and understanding of the tracing instrumentation
• understand the concepts of the wire/propagation protocol versus the data protocol for pushing instrumentation data to the backend
• validate the overall vision in regards if OTEL can solve the expected problems

High-level outcome:

• Explain opportunities and weaknesses, what problems can be solved nicely, what problems do you see. Focus on the application side, not so much about the collector and backend part
• Demo trace instrumentation in action, demonstrate how it contributes to our journey
• blueprint: step-by-step guide on how to setup a playground based on the bllueprint from (PoC OpenTelemetry - general setup #10873 ) with two applications communicating with each other and pushing trace data

Technical goals:

• What wire protocols are supported by the OTEL sdk? Will W3C-tracecontext work smooth from app development perspective (should be a low-code experience)
• Try to use the OTEL format for communication to the collector, any problems
• Provide logs and tags to the custom span data
