Send logs to OpenTelemetry exporter/ingest

[smyrick]

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

Today I can configure my log exporter in the Router v1.59.0 with the following options to STDOUT.

telemetry:
  exporters:
    logging:

      common:
         resource:
           "environment.name": "production"
           "environment.namespace": "{env.MY_K8_NAMESPACE_ENV_VARIABLE}"

      stdout:
        enabled: true
        format: text

However, my telemetry systems, like Dynatrace, support sending logs to an ingest API with OpenTelemetry

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to be able to configure an otlp block similar to traces and metrics exporters in the Router for logging

telemetry:
  exporters:
    logging:

      otlp:
        enabled: true
        endpoint: ${env.DYNATRACE_URL}
        protocol: http
        http:
          headers:
            "Authorization": "Api-Token ${env.DT_TOKEN}"

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are usually many ways I can get STDOUT logs from my Router runtime to o11y systems. This can include system the run on k8s, my cloud provider, or other tools and services.

Additional Context

Otel Logging has become a standard and the spec is 1.0, but this happened in late 2023
