Motivation and Context

This implementation uses SLF4J MDC (which uses ThreadLocal under the hood) to read the trace ID value stored in AWS_LAMBDA_X_TraceId that would be set by the Lambda runtime (this would be added later, probably here).

Will async clients be addressed in a separate PR? This won't work for async retries (which are delegated to a retries thread pool), calls that happen within future chaining (which are delegated to a future completion executor thread pool), etc.

We'll want to find where calls might switch threads (i.e. anywhere we're using futures) and then preserve the thread local setting across that thread change.

We should also add a test sending a request in the result future:

client.allTypes()
      .thenRun(() -> client.allTypes() /* Did this request have the right trace ID? */)

I suspect we'll need to plumb the thread local context to there as well (and clear it, so that reuses of that thread don't have it set).
