opentelemetry-sdk: avoid recursion error with sdk disabled (#4259)

* opentelemetry-sdk: avoid recursion error with sdk disabled

If the sdk is disable and our handler is added to the root logger we
will recurse in order to log that SDK is disabled. Use the
warnings facilities to print the message instead.

* Add changelog
