Can't build OpenTelemetrySdk in groovy

[josh-e]

Describe the bug
Using OpenTelemetrySdk.builder().build() throws an exception if called from a groovy class.

Steps to reproduce
Project with two dependencies

    implementation("io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk:1.59.0")
    implementation("org.apache.groovy:groovy:4.0.25")

Main function in a groovy class

class Test {
    static void main(String[] args) {
        OpenTelemetrySdk.builder().build();
    }
}

What did you expect to see?
No exception

What version and what artifacts are you using?
Artifacts: opentelemetry-sdk
Version: 1.59.0 +
How did you reference these artifacts?

implementation("io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-sdk:1.59.0")

Environment
Compiler: Javac
OS: Linux
Runtime: Corretto 17

Additional context
Using groovy 5 still errors, but a different error (groovy.lang.MissingMethodException)

Appears to be caused by #7991.

Even though the return of build() here doesn't go down the IncubatingUtil.createExtendedOpenTelemetrySdk code branch groovy appears to try to link the IncubatingUtil class and since the incubator classes are not on the class path it fails.

[jack-berg]

Probably related to #4839.

I'm open to a small repro and fix.

Its worth noting we use similar patterns to change behavior based on presence/absence of certain incubating modules, especially opentelemetry-api-incubator. So its possible if you solve this you'll come across a new issue of similar shape. Or maybe there's something distinct / new about the pattern in #7991.
