…ion (open-telemetry#258)

Based on conversations last week in the Specification and Semantic
Conventions SIGs, I'm opening this duplicate pull request which was
originally set as a
[Draft](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/pull/241/files) and
hasn't had movement since last November.

There are real use cases that are coming to fruiting, namely in the
CI/CD working group, that will benefit from this being accepted. Once
accepted we can work on getting the specification added for both general
context propagation and baggage.

On the note of baggage; baggage is a form of context propagation and was
not originally mentioned directly by name in this OTEP. It is however,
absolutely essential. I've had the pleasure of prototyping out tracing
within an OpenTofu controller system where context on available in
parent/child at the very start of the trace was available. Baggage was
the means of transferring this critical context to subsequent siblings
that would've not had it otherwise.

Thanks for all the hard work to the original author (@deejgregor) and
opening the draft open-telemetry#241
