Remove scope attributes form the Scope identity

Fixes #2762

The identity part can be changed later if the community agrees to accept this change, but to be safe for the moment revert this change.

 Note: This could, for example, be implemented by storing any mutable

 The effect of associating a Schema URL with a `Tracer` MUST be that the
 telemetry emitted using the `Tracer` will be associated with the Schema URL,
