38126ecd90 CLEANUP: otel: removed insecure-fork-wanted requirement
Removed the insecure-fork-wanted runtime check from the OTel filter parser
and all related mentions from documentation and test configuration.

The OpenTelemetry C wrapper library can now explicitly start all necessary
OTel threads immediately after configuration parsing, so it is no longer
affected by the HAProxy thread/process creation restriction and the
insecure-fork-wanted option is no longer needed.

7c66bb5497 MINOR: otel: changed instrument attr to use sample expressions
Replaced the static key-value attribute storage in update-form instruments
with sample-evaluated attributes, matching the log-record attr change.
The 'attr' keyword now accepts a key and a HAProxy sample expression
evaluated at runtime.

The struct (conf.h) changed from otelc_kv/attr_len to a list of
flt_otel_conf_sample entries.  The parser (parser.c) calls
flt_otel_parse_cfg_sample() with n=1 per attr keyword.  At runtime
(event.c) each attribute is evaluated via flt_otel_sample_eval() and
added via flt_otel_sample_add_kv() to a bare flt_otel_scope_data_kv,
which is passed to the meter.

Updated documentation, debug macro and test configurations.

Replaced the static key-value attribute storage in log-record with
sample-evaluated attributes.  The 'attr' keyword now accepts a key and a
HAProxy sample expression evaluated at runtime, instead of a static string
value.

The struct (conf.h) changed from otelc_kv/attr_len to a list of
flt_otel_conf_sample entries.  The parser (parser.c) calls
flt_otel_parse_cfg_sample() with n=1 per attr keyword.  At runtime
(event.c) each attribute is evaluated via flt_otel_sample_eval() and added
via flt_otel_sample_add_kv() to a bare flt_otel_scope_data_kv, which is
passed to logger->log_span().

Updated documentation, debug macro and test configurations.

bb2c512d29 DOC: otel: test: added speed test guide and benchmark results
The test directory gained a speed test guide (README-test-speed)
explaining how to run performance benchmarks at various rate-limit levels,
together with benchmark result files for the standalone, composite,
context-propagation, and frontend-backend test configurations.

8d8d7e4602 DOC: otel: added documentation
Added the full documentation set for the OpenTelemetry filter.

The main README served as the user-facing guide covering build
instructions, core OpenTelemetry concepts, the complete filter
configuration reference, usage examples with worked scenarios,
CLI commands, and known limitations.

Supplementary documents provided a detailed configuration guide with
worked examples (README-configuration), an internal C structure reference
for developers (README-conf), a function reference organized by source
file (README-func), an architecture and implementation review
(README-implementation), and miscellaneous notes (README-misc).
