[Bug]: setLogger not work with winstonLogger

[andreseloysv]

Problem Description

Issue Description:

Calling instana.setLogger(this.winstonLogger) throws the following error, which started occurring after the release of version 4.5.1. The error is triggered due to the introduction of parentLogger.bindings().

Error Details:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: parentLogger.bindings is not a function
    at Object.init (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@instana/collector/src/logger.js:76:28)
    at Function.setLogger (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@instana/collector/src/index.js:145:7)
    at new TaloLoggerImpl2 (/app/node_modules/@omniweb/talo-logging/build/talo-logging.cjs:313:17)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Call instana.setLogger(this.winstonLogger) after upgrading to version 4.5.1.
2. Observe the error in the logs.

Expected Behavior:

The logger should be set without any errors, similar to how it worked in previous versions.

Environment:

• Node.js version: 22.13.0
• Instana Collector version: 4.5.1
• WinstonLogger: 3.16.0
