Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to get detailed tracing with opentelemetry tracer to be able to gather following key timestamps:

• When did Envoy first receive the request
• When did Envoy send it to the upstream
• When did Envoy receive the response from the upstream
• When did Envoy send the response to the client

Currently it looks like envoy otel tracer does not support the same span logs as can be enabled with tracing.verbose: true when using zipkinconfig.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideal solution is to provide the same verbose tracing experience as with zipkin, providing all of the below timestamps:

Server Start
last_downstream_rx_byte_received
first_upstream_tx_byte_sent
last_upstream_tx_byte_sent
first_upstream_rx_byte_received
first_downstream_tx_byte_sent
last_upstream_rx_byte_received
last_downstream_tx_byte_sent
Server Finish

Describe alternatives you've considered

Exposing start_child_span option in gloo's opentelemetryConfig could be used as a workaround to identify the upstream request times.
