Normalizing HTTP header names is ambiguous #304

@Flarna

Description

@Flarna

HTTP Span SemConv requires to normalize HTTP header name attributes.

using lower case is fine because HTTP tells to handle header names case insensitive (HTTP/2 requires to them even lowercase).

But replacing - by _ seems problematic because both chars are allowed in http header names.

Therefore this may result in merging/overwrite issues on instrumentation side and unclear interpretation on backend side.
