Pull request overview
This pull request adds OpenTelemetry support to AWS Lambda Powertools, introducing a new TracerOpenTelemetry class that provides distributed tracing using the OpenTelemetry SDK. The implementation follows Powertools conventions while offering flexibility through two modes: "auto" mode for use with the ADOT Lambda Layer, and "manual" mode for custom TracerProvider configurations.
Changes:
- Introduced
TracerOpenTelemetryclass with support for both auto and manual modes - Added context propagation helpers for SQS message tracing
- Created comprehensive unit, functional, and E2E test suites with 30+ test cases
- Added detailed documentation with examples for various use cases
- Updated dependencies to include OpenTelemetry packages as optional extras

The instrumenting_library_version is hardcoded to "1.0.0". This should use the actual library version from aws_lambda_powertools.shared.version.VERSION to accurately represent the Powertools library version in traces.
