[On Hold] Improve behavior of un-ended ReadableSpan #693

Original title: Simplify span end time.

The only reason to have now() returned in getEndEpochNanos seems to be
that it kinda makes sense for getLatencyMs, but that method is
package-private and never used.

I'm not sure we need the latency on the span data, but I'll add it in a separate commit for now.

@arminru You probably want to re-review that, since a lot has changed since your approval.

Actually, when adding the latency to SpanData it breaks all the tests in #697 because now the latency is among the values that are compared when comparing SpanData objects, and calling toSpanData on an un-ended span will have a different value there every time. That's fixable but cumbersome. I wonder if we really want to have the latency at the SpanData or if the ReadableSpan is enough.

@open-telemetry/java-approvers Anyone care to look at this? Do you think I should really add the latency to SpanData?

I think it would be nice in this javadoc to define "latency" in this context, because it is a word that some may interpret as meaning "network latency", which seems like an odd thing to have on a generic Span.

Actually I think it might be better to just rename this to currentDuration. Latency, while technically correct (see open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification#330), is probably confusing to most users.

this proliferation of synchronization really makes me want to implement this with AtomicBoolean, since it's lock-free.

You could remove the lock here then, but all the checks for hasEnded within span still need to hold the lock if they want to ensure that they don't set properties after the span has ended.

yeah. IMO, the whole thread-safety of this class is pretty janky. We should think about separating the mutable parts from the immutable and having a simpler synchronization model.

Unfortunately, AutoValue seems to require a get-prefix here (see also getHasRemoteParent).

I think isFinished sounds like it would be true if the span is exported (finished passing through the span pipeline). Maybe a name for the inverse could be used, like isRunning.

Being "active" (on a scope) is already another concept in OpenTelemetry, unfortunately.

this is really ugly block of code. Can we at least move it into it's own method?

Actually, this is only required for tests. The best option from my perspective would be to remove the latency from SpanData.

I am fine with removing latency from the SpanData. For the EndEpoch what is the behavior you want?

@Oberon00 I think this PR got very hard to review, and I cannot follow all the changes, can you please consider to: split PR if possible in changes to ReadableSpan and changes to SpanData, update the description of the PR and documented what changed.

I split #733 from this one, will do further splitting once that one is handled.
