Remove `events` from the API/SDK, an `Event` is now a `LogRecord` with the `EventName` field set
Description
See https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/issues/4045 and https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/pull/4319 - the event API and SDK are deprecated in the spec.
The only change made to support events is adding the event name field to the LogRecord. If you want to emit an event you can do so using the logging API/SDK using a LogRecord with the event_name field set. This simplifies the code a bunch and aligns python with the spec and what other languages do.
I have another PR (https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4645) out to update the proto version ahead of v1.5 which added event_name to the LogRecord, and to add the event_name field to the LogRecord API/SDK.

Ok there are 4 broken instrumentations we have to update first..
First https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-python/pull/4645 needs to get submitted, so we can start putting EventName directly into the LogRecord instead of as an attribute.
Then we have to go and update the instrumentations to emit a LogRecord with the event name set instead of using the events API..
Then we can make this change..
Converted to draft since this requires changes in -contrib
