* OTEL: Fix attribute compliance and improve telemetry helpers
Attribute compliance:
- Remove rpc.system/service/method (MCP is not traditional RPC)
- Add gen_ai.tool.name on tools/call spans
- Add gen_ai.prompt.name on prompts/get spans
- Fix session_id check (truthy -> is not None)
Telemetry helper improvements:
- Add is_recording() guards to skip work on non-recording spans
- Add error.type attribute with __qualname__ on error spans
- Use isinstance check for ToolError to set "tool_error" error type
- Include exception message in span status description
- Add tool_name/prompt_name params to server_span and client_span
Client call_tool enrichment:
- Reflect tool-level errors (result.isError) on client span status
so callers see ERROR even though the MCP protocol call succeeded

* fix: remove resource URI from span names to avoid high-cardinality
Per MCP semantic conventions, resource URIs SHOULD NOT be included in
span names by default since they can be unbounded (especially with
templates like users://{id}/profile). The URI remains available via
the mcp.resource.uri attribute.

* fix: add missing gen_ai/mcp attributes to proxy and delegate spans
- Proxy tool spans: add gen_ai.tool.name
- Proxy prompt spans: add gen_ai.prompt.name
- All delegate spans: add mcp.method.name
- Docs: remove rpc.* references, update span names and attributes table

* Hoist ToolError imports to module level, add rpc.* migration note

Updates FastMCP's telemetry to align with the new MCP semantic conventions
from open-telemetry/semantic-conventions#2083. This gives us interoperability
with other MCP implementations while keeping fastmcp.* attributes for things
unique to our framework.
Changes:
- Span names now follow `{method} {target}` format (e.g., `tools/call greet`)
- Added `mcp.method.name` and `mcp.resource.uri` attributes
- Renamed `fastmcp.session.id` to standard `mcp.session.id`
- Kept fastmcp.* attributes for server name, component info, provider details

- Be specific about which operations are traced (tools, prompts, resources, resource templates)
- Remove "(not the SDK)" parenthetical
- Consolidate attribute documentation - remove redundancy in Tracing section
- Delete unnecessary examples/diagnostics/__init__.py

Adds opt-in distributed tracing via OpenTelemetry for observability into
FastMCP server and client operations.
Server spans are created for tool calls, resource reads, and prompt
renders with attributes like component key, component type, provider
type, session ID, and auth context. Client spans wrap outgoing calls
with trace context propagation via W3C headers in request meta.
Components provide their own span attributes through a `get_span_attributes()`
method that subclasses override - this lets LocalProvider, FastMCPProvider,
and ProxyProvider each include relevant context (original names, backend URIs).
To enable: configure an OpenTelemetry SDK with a TracerProvider before
importing fastmcp. Traces export to any OTLP-compatible backend.
Closes ENG-2813
