Fix ASP.NET Core ExceptionFilter prevents recording exception

[al-mac]

Fixes #2853

ASP.NET Core exception filters fire events before and after filter execution.

Before: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/36df8e5dc487e27cb85674ef3f144dca07f05c20/src/Mvc/Mvc.Core/src/MvcCoreDiagnosticListenerExtensions.cs#L396-L402

After: https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/c85baf8db0c72ae8e68643029d514b2e737c9fae/src/Mvc/Mvc.Core/src/MvcCoreDiagnosticListenerExtensions.cs#L422-L434

The ASP.NET Core instrumentation's OnException event is invoked when these events fire. The payload of the event differs from that of the regular exception path and precludes the exception from being recorded (if enabled) and the span status from being set.

A few small CI failures to resolve

Static analysis enforces style guidelines. You should be able to produce this locally, but might need to do a release build

D:\a\opentelemetry-dotnet\opentelemetry-dotnet\test\OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore.Tests\BasicTests.cs(665,29): error SA1204: Static members should appear before non-static members [D:\a\opentelemetry-dotnet\opentelemetry-dotnet\test\OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore.Tests\OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore.Tests.csproj]

We use markdownlint to enforce style in markdown files. You could run this locally too following instructions here, but in your case it looks you just need to add a newline after a header.

src/OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.AspNetCore/CHANGELOG.md:3 MD022/blanks-around-headings/blanks-around-headers Headings should be surrounded by blank lines [Expected: 1; Actual: 0; Below] [Context: "## Unreleased"]

Fixed! Sorry about that.

Thanks for this PR @al-mac !

@alanwest Please do add this to SIG discussion. I was chatting offline with @vishweshbankwar for some potential improvements in this area as well. (Its related to how leveraging Activity.Current in non Start/End path could result in fetching unintended Activity.) Given we have reference to AspNetCore.App (for new runtimes..), we should discuss if we can use the Public types which are the payload, instead of relying on reflection.

[al-mac]

@alanwest thanks! Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the meeting. Nice catch on the potential change on the DiagnosticSourceListener.cs. The specific scenario that we worked on this PR will probably never happen if this changes to something like else if (string.Compare(value.Key, "OnException", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0). The only concern is if it could break some other use-case, but at this point is valid to consider adding some more else ifs to the code in order to cover those.
