### Why this patch?
 * We don't want to use the logging system from OTel's SDK
   - There's nothing wrong with OTel's logs, but having multiple logging systems is not ideal
   - MozLog has been tailored to Firefox' specific requirements over the years, it's better to use it
 * To avoid OTel's logging completely, we don't want to vendor it
 * This patch removes dependencies from the recordable utils component
