feat(observability): preserve cross-client trace continuity

[yordis]

• Distributed traces need to remain continuous across persisted events so operators can follow producer-to-consumer work.
• Client releases need direct evidence that Rust and C# agree on the supported server behavior.

Walkthrough

The client now propagates OpenTelemetry context through event metadata, records consumer spans for subscription delivery, defines related semantic conventions, and adds an ignored cross-client compatibility harness with OTLP telemetry.

Changes

EventStore tracing and compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tracing conventions and generated constants otel/semconv/registry/trogon/eventstore/client-spans.yaml, otel/semconv/templates/registry/rust/*, trogon-eventstore/src/observability/generated.rs	Defines the EventStore event-type attribute and consumer process span. Adds generated messaging attribute names and the consumer span-kind constant.
Event context injection and consumer spans trogon-eventstore/src/observability.rs	Injects and extracts trace context in JSON event metadata. Emits consumer spans with messaging, event-type, and optional consumer-group attributes. Adds tests for metadata handling and span output.
Append and subscription integration trogon-eventstore/src/batch.rs, trogon-eventstore/src/commands.rs	Captures contexts for single and batch appends. Traces regular and persistent subscription events. Stores the persistent subscription group name.
Cross-client compatibility execution trogon-eventstore/Cargo.toml, trogon-eventstore/tests/compatibility.rs	Adds an ignored harness for writes, reads, subscriptions, persistent subscriptions, readiness signaling, environment configuration, and OTLP export.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to cbef8

This change persists tracing context with events and reuses it during subscription processing, but currently drops context for opaque metadata and may retain sensitive propagator values such as baggage. It can also allow persisted context to influence downstream trace parentage without a trust check, so the PR is not merge-ready until these behaviors are constrained or explicitly accepted.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with traces tucked tight,
Events hop through metadata light.
Consumer spans bloom as they run,
Batch and single paths share the sun.
OTLP carrots queue in a row,
And ready files say when to go.

In `@trogon-eventstore/src/commands.rs`:
- Line 48: Update inject_event_context and the append paths using it so opaque,
non-object EventData::metadata still preserves trace context instead of being
persisted unchanged; alternatively, explicitly reject those appends. Ensure
extract_event_context can recover the propagated context while retaining valid
custom metadata.

In `@trogon-eventstore/src/observability.rs`:
- Line 148: Update the context injection around propagator.inject_context so
persistence writes only traceparent and tracestate into
propagation_fields/custom_metadata; avoid propagating baggage unless an explicit
opt-in is enabled.
