Description

Now that we have structured logging, don't force every adopter to explicitly pass a logger in the initializer of the ServiceGroup - default to .current instead.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the initializer of ServiceGroup to see how logger is parameterized. Determine where Logger.current is available and how to set it as the default value. Update the existing tests and any documentation to reflect the new default behavior.
