Description
Java flavor of https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/issues/4416
Currently, distributions have to implement both the old and new customizer - see https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java-instrumentation/issues/14087#issuecomment-2991859000
Maybe we should add a glue layer for common distro use cases, e.g. adding span processors.
