Consider TraceId/SpanId to implement Stringer interface?

[bogdandrutu]

Currently we use SpanIdString() https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go/blob/master/api/core/span_context.go#L174, but if we rename that to just String fmt will print that nicer :)

Make sure that structure for print is inline with logging efforts.

From our SIG meeting: the ask is to possibly add a separate method String instead of replacing this method. The point being that this method might produce the string in a protocol format.

Ideally the String method will conform to the function @rghetia describes.

@rghetia can you point me to what the logging efforts are?

Log SIG recently started and is looking into supporting logs in OpenTelemetry. This doc has some relevant links.

@MrAlias Can we close this issue as it's resolved now?
