[hotrod] Handle both OT and OTEL baggage (jaegertracing#4572)

## Which problem is this PR solving?
- Part of jaegertracing#3380

## Short description of the changes
- Move explicit baggage access into a util func that checks both OT and
OTEL baggage. Later the OT part can be retired completely.
- Update usage sites to use the new function instead of OT
`Span.BaggageItem`

A couple of less related changes in `tracing/mutex.go`:
- Use OTEL Span API instead of OT
- Replace direct-to-span logging with the regular logger that logs both
to stdout and to the span
