Is it possible to rename "instrumentation library" to "instrumentation scope" everywhere? #2203

Description

@tigrannajaryan

This initially came from a discussion about introducing Logger Name.

While discussing the issue during the spec SIG meeting we came to a conclusion that the intent for "instrumentation library" was actually to have an "instrumentation scope".

The "instrumentation library" is currently used throughout the spec API and SDK. We want to explore if it is possible to rename "instrumentation library" to "instrumentation scope" without breaking existing stability guarantees.

Note: this should be only done if it is not a breaking change. We must continue honouring our stability guarantees.
