Update semantic convention requirements #165

Closed pdudits closed 2 months ago

pdudits commented 3 months ago

Partially addresses #150.

Refers to stable HTTP Span semantic conventions
Refers to non-normative document describing the changes
Refers to attribute requirement levels
Removes API for semantic attributes from class requirements

The last one may be a bit surprising one, but due to following reasons:

Semantic conventions jar is no longer part of either stable or alpha bom of java SDK
The current standalone semconv artifact (1.23.1-alpha) currently contains mix of stable, deprecated and experimental attributes in very flat hierarchy making it a very fragile API
It is also out of sync with latest semconv at this time due to various reasons explained in https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-java/issues/44
