Normalize span names with Adaptive Traces semantic conventions

Adaptive Traces can now normalize span names to follow OpenTelemetry semantic conventions during ingestion, collapsing high-cardinality names like /api/users/7f3a into stable forms like GET /api/users/{id}. Span metrics aggregate under stable route names, dashboards show meaningful operations, and TraceQL queries match consistently across services regardless of how each team labeled its spans. The original name is preserved as grafana.original_span_name so you can still drill down to a specific request.
