What happened?

Description

When using azuremonitor as exporter using the Otel Contrib distribution, exceptions which are logged per symantec definition of OpenTelemetry is forward to Azure Monitor as traces, not exceptions.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup otel azuremonitor contrib.
2. Configure span to include required attributes exception.type, exception.message
3. Await data in application insights, and verify that no exceptions has been logged, but an entry in traces exists.

Expected Result

Log records of span specified as exceptions, end in the exceptions table.

Actual Result

Log records appear in traces table.

Suggested code change:

Alter log_to_envelope.go. Change LogRecordToEnvelope(*) to use contracts.NewExceptionData() when span attributes fulfill the symantec specification of an exception.
