Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

OpenTelemetry provides an AwsXrayIdGenerator, but there is no easy way to start using it with auto-instrumentation Java agent.

Describe the solution you'd like

Have a custom AutoConfigurationCustomizerProvider that sets the generator depending on some configuration flag (e.g. otel.aws-xray.trace-id-generator.enabled or something) in the aws-xray module.

Describe alternatives you've considered

You can set a custom IdGenerator by implementing a custom extension that will use the AutoConfigurationCustomizerProvider SPI to modify the SdkTracerProviderBuilder via the AutoConfigurationCustomizer#addTracerProviderCustomizer() method.

It is a rather complicated solution that requires some insights into OpenTelemetry Java instrumentation process.
