Proposal: add vcs.revision as a semantic convention key.
It's often useful to add the version control revision, like a Git commit hash, to logs and traces that indicate the commit that the binary was built from. The vcs.revision is helpful to debug production issues.
As a counterpoint, service.version might already include the information or be detailed enough to identify the commit.
Complicating matters: should there also be vcs.repo to denote which repo the commit originated from?
