Idea from #339 / @alsuren:

have otel-cli recognize when it is symlinked and called with a different binary name
create a directory of symlinks to otel-cli, aliasing commands in use on the system
add the symlink dir to the front of path
when otel-cli runs, it recognizes the symlink and searches the rest of the PATH for the real binary

Things to think about:

what are the security implications? can this be abused?
does traceparent passing make sense? how? Stick with simple otel-cli exec behavior?
