OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION is mentioned in doc, but does not seem to work.

Problem Statement
As mentioned in https://opentelemetry.io/docs/languages/python/automatic/configuration/, there is a mention of OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION which when set to true, will automatically inject trace id and span id in context to python's logs:

export OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION=true
export OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_FORMAT="%(msg)s [span_id=%(span_id)s]"
export OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_LEVEL=debug
export OTEL_PYTHON_LOGGING_AUTO_INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED=true

However, setting the environment does NOT inject the trace_id and span_id, and the generated span has 0x0 as their values. In fact, when I tried to find the OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION in Otel python repo in github, I couldn't find any mention of it in the codebase.

Steps to reproduce
Describe exactly how to reproduce the error. Include a code sample if applicable.

1. Write a simple python app (e.g. flask application), and use python's logging and generate a log.
2. define the following env:

...
- OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=http/protobuf
- OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=console,otlp_proto_http
- OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION=true
- OTEL_PYTHON_LOGGING_AUTO_INSTRUMENTATION_ENABLED=true
...

3. run the application, with

What is the expected behavior?
OTEL log payload should have trace_id and span_id correctly populated

What is the actual behavior?
The console output has 0x00.. values for trace_id and span_id.

"timestamp": "2024-03-13T04:25:59.888144Z",
"observed_timestamp": "2024-03-13T04:25:59.889081Z",
"trace_id": "0x00000000000000000000000000000000",
"span_id": "0x0000000000000000",
"trace_flags": 0,

Additional context
The following dependencies were added to requirements.txt:

• opentelemetry-distro
• opentelemetry-exporter-otlp

Start with the linked Python automatic-configuration documentation and search the repository for OTEL_PYTHON_LOG_CORRELATION and related logging auto-instrumentation entry points. Reproduce the report with a Flask application using Python logging and the listed requirements, then determine why the emitted trace_id and span_id remain zero. Done means the documented environment settings produce populated IDs in the OTLP log payload.
