Version 1.27.0

[github-actions[bot]]

The log bridge API / SDK are now stable! Some important notes:

• The contents of opentelemetry-api-logs have been merged into opentelemetry-api.
• The contents of opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-logs have been merged into opentelemetry-exporter-otlp.
• The contents of opentelemetry-sdk-logs-testing have been merged into opentelemetry-sdk-testing.
• The opentelemetry-sdk-logs artifact has been marked stable.
• opentelemetry-sdk-extension-autoconfigure has changed the default value of otel.logs.exporter from none to otlp.

NOTE: reminder that the Logs Bridge API is not meant for end users. Log appenders use the API to bridge logs from existing log frameworks (e.g. JUL, Log4j, SLf4J, Logback) into OpenTelemetry. Users configure the Log SDK to dictate how logs are processed and exported. See opentelemetry.io for documentation on usage.
