Description

We can generate events similarly to how we generate attributes. See: https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-java/pull/489/changes

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing code for attribute generation in the repository and the referenced PR in semantic conventions java to understand the pattern, then apply it to generate semantic events.
