Research direction

Start with the referenced issue and comment, then inspect the workflow.LoggerAdapter and activity.LoggerAdapter entry points. Define how adapter-level extra data should merge, including behavior on Python versions before 3.13; done means both custom adapters support the agreed merge_extra behavior.

Describe the solution you'd like

See https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-python/issues/276#issuecomment-2949910553.

For workflow.LoggerAdapter and activity.LoggerAdapter, consider supporting merge_extra to allow users to set adapter-level extra data. Note, the stdlib's form of this is 3.13 only so we may need our own form.
