Publish logging instrumentation package that injects X-Ray styled Trace IDs into logs

[NathanielRN]

Description

The AWS X-Ray developer guide talks about Trace ID Injection. Trace ID Injection allows services like CloudWatch Service to link X-Ray segments to X-Ray segment Service Graphs. This is accomplished by injecting the current AWS X-Ray segment Trace ID into the log that is sent to CloudWatch under the AWS-XRAY-TRACE-ID key (the key is not important since the query is done on the Trace ID, but this is just an example). For example, as seen in the docs:

2019-09-10 18:58:30.844 [nio-5000-exec-4]  AWS-XRAY-TRACE-ID: 1-5d77f256-19f12e4eaa02e3f76c78f46a@1ce7df03252d99e1 WARN 1 - Your logging message here

The problem is, that we do not currently have a package that does this. This is unlike ADOT Java, which publishes a package for log4j and other logging libraries as well.

We should distribute a package like this which gives an OpenTelemetry Instrumentor that injects X-Ray formatted Trace IDs from the current OpenTelemetry Python span. Since we want to do X-Ray specific Trace IDs, the package should be hosted in this repo and not OTel Python Contrib.

NOTE: We need to set up publishing to PIP before we can work on this issue.

I have implemented this manually in our FastAPI application running in ECS Fargate, but it is not incredibly reliable. Sometimes a trace id will get injected into the wrong log. Something out of the box and more robust would be a great feature. If I had time to take a crack at this I would open an MR, but sadly I don't have the time.
