1. Adds semantic conventions for exceptions …

   Adds support for the opentelemetry exceptions semantic conventions. In
   short, this has RecordError produce an exception event with exception
   attributes instead of using the error event and error attributes.
   
   While golang does not have exceptions, the spec itself does not
   differentiate between errors and exceptions for recording purposes.
   RecordError was kept as the method name, both for backwards
   compatibility and to reduce confusion (the method signature takes in a
   golang error object). The spec appears to allow this, as it suggests the
   method is optional and signature may reflect whatever is most appropriate
   for the language implementing it.
   
   It may seem non-intuitive to log an exception event from a method called
   RecordError, but it's beneficial to have consistent behavior across all
   opentelemetry SDKs. Downstream projects like the opentelemetry-collector
   can build off of the published API and not special case behaviors from
   individual languages.
