Request to Add Instrumentation for otelhttp

[jeremyje]

Background

Package Link: go.opentelemetry.io/contrib/instrumentation/net/http/otelhttp

Add instrumentation and tracing to net/http

Why can this instrumentation not be included in the package itself?

No it's part of the go standard library

Why can this instrumentation not be hosted in a dedicated repository?

Proposed Solution

Use the RequestCount metric already defined in otelhttp.
