Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Go and Python and .NET and others use temporalWorkflowID, temporalRunID, temporalActivityID, etc but Java uses workflowId and runId Cannot change Java's defaults for compatibility reasons, but we should allow these to be customized so users can make them the same. Some SDKs like .NET already allow these to be customized.

Research direction

Start by locating the Java SDK's OpenTelemetry span-tag definitions and compare them with the existing customization supported by the .NET SDK. Done means users can customize Java's default workflow and activity tag names to match names such as temporalWorkflowID, temporalRunID, and temporalActivityID without breaking compatibility.
