Máté Szabó 16ec1a3703 Introduce minimal OTEL tracing library
In T340552, the official PHP OpenTelemetry client was effectively
rejected for inclusion in MediaWiki due to its size. Implement a minimal
tracing library instead that eschews conformance with the OTEL client
specification in favor of simplicity, while remaining capable of
emitting trace data in OTLP format and thus retaining compatibility with
any ingestion endpoint capable of handling OTLP.

In its current state, the library supports a basic feature set that
should be sufficient for basic tracing integration:

* Span creation, inclusive span activation and automatic parent span
  assignment,
* Span attributes and span kinds,
* Basic resource (process/request)-level metadata generation,
* Data export over OTLP.

Additional functionality, such as trace propagation, can then be
incrementally added to the library.
