Description
Log4cpp is one of the commonly used logging framework for C++, and it would be good to have the logging appender for the framework using logging bridge API.
More details:
Bridge API specs - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/specification/logs/bridge-api.md
Bridge API implementation - https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-cpp/tree/main/api/include/opentelemetry/logs
The implementation should be part of the opentelemetry-cpp-contrib repo under the instrumentation directory.

Research direction
Read the linked Logs Bridge API specification and the implementation under opentelemetry-cpp/api/include/opentelemetry/logs, then inspect the instrumentation directory in opentelemetry-cpp-contrib. Done means providing a log4cpp appender there that uses the OpenTelemetry logging bridge API; the issue does not name tests or specific files.
