Description

The PluginLoggerRegistrar currently returns a ServiceReference<?> since the Tracer is registered for multiple interfaces. This forces clients to downcast the reference themselves.

Instead, we should return a ServiceReference<Logger>, since none of the clients are interested that the Tracer also implements DebugOptionsListener.
