refactor(telemetry): split SpanGuard into unscoped SpanGuard + scoped ScopedSpanGuard

Separate the two responsibilities the old SpanGuard fused: span ownership
(thread-free) and scope activation (thread-bound TLS push).

- SpanGuard now owns ONLY the span. Its Impl drops the optional<Scope>,
  the owner thread-id, the Detached tag and the scope-less ctor; ~Impl is
  just `if (span) span->End()`. The guard never binds a thread-local
  context stack, so it may be moved to and destroyed on any thread.
- ScopedSpanGuard is a new pimpl type that wraps a SpanGuard plus an
  optional<Scope>. Member order (guard first, scope second) pops the
  scope before the span ends. It is non-copyable and non-movable;
  factories return unnamed temporaries so guaranteed copy elision covers
  `auto s = ScopedSpanGuard::freshRoot(...)`.
- `operator SpanGuard() &&` replaces detached()/detachInPlace(): it pops
  the scope eagerly on the origin thread and yields a thread-free
  SpanGuard for handoff to a job or another thread. detached(),
  detachInPlace() (both overloads) and the Detached apparatus are deleted.
- Move-assignment is re-enabled on SpanGuard (no Scope to re-bind), in
  both the real class and the no-op stub.
- rootSpan() renamed to freshRoot() in both classes (behavior unchanged:
  still forces kIsRootSpanKey).
- hashSpan behavior is intentionally unchanged (only builds the now
  unscoped Impl); the true-root IdGenerator fix is a separate later task.

/**
* RAII guard for OpenTelemetry trace spans.
* RAII guards for OpenTelemetry trace spans.
*
* Wraps an OTel Span and Scope behind the pimpl idiom so that no
* opentelemetry headers are exposed in this public header. When
* XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY is not defined, SpanGuard is an empty class
* with all-inline no-op methods — zero overhead, zero dependencies.
* This header declares two complementary span guards, split by
* responsibility:
*
* Dependency diagram:
* - SpanGuard — owns a span only. Thread-free: it never touches the
* OTel thread-local context stack, so it may be moved
* to and destroyed on any thread. Movable AND
* move-assignable.
* - ScopedSpanGuard — owns a SpanGuard plus an active OTel Scope that
* pushes the span onto the constructing thread's
* context stack. Thread-bound: it must be created and
* destroyed on the same thread. Non-copyable and
* non-movable.
*
* Both wrap all OpenTelemetry types behind the pimpl idiom so no
* opentelemetry headers are exposed here. When XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
* is not defined, both are empty classes with all-inline no-op methods
* — zero overhead, zero dependencies.

* @note Thread safety: A SCOPED guard (from span(), rootSpan(),
* childSpan(), linkedSpan()) must only be used on the thread where it
* was constructed — its internal Scope binds to that thread's
* thread-local context stack, and destroying it elsewhere would pop
* the wrong stack. A guard returned by detached() holds no Scope, so
* it may be moved to and destroyed on another thread; detached()
* itself must be called on the origin (constructing) thread. Use
* captureContext() to propagate the trace context to other threads.
* Violating this rule is enforced (not just documented): a scoped
* guard destroyed on a foreign thread, or detached() called from one,
* trips an XRPL_ASSERT in debug/test/fuzzing builds instead of
* silently corrupting the other thread's context stack.
* @note Thread safety: SpanGuard is thread-free. It holds only the
* span (no Scope), so it never binds to a thread-local context stack
* and may be moved to and destroyed on any thread. To make a span the
* ambient parent for child spans on a thread, wrap it in a
* ScopedSpanGuard. Use captureContext() to propagate the trace
* context across threads explicitly.
*
* @note Move semantics: Move construction transfers ownership of
* the pimpl pointer — no double-Scope issues. Move assignment is
* deleted to prevent re-scoping mid-flight.
* @note Move semantics: Move construction and move assignment both
* transfer ownership of the pimpl pointer. There is no Scope to
* re-bind, so move assignment is safe and enabled. Copy is deleted.
*
* @note Known limitations:
* - Attributes cannot be removed per the OTel spec; use
* setAttribute with an empty value as a convention.
* - SpanGuard::span() (raw Span access) is intentionally not
* exposed — all interaction goes through the public methods.
* - The raw OTel Span is intentionally not exposed — all interaction
* goes through the public methods.

* that constructed the active guard inside it (same rule as
* `SpanGuard::detached()`).
* @note Must run BEFORE any `captureContext()` snapshot is taken if the
* caller also needs the pre-detach context — capture first, then call
* this helper (same ordering rule `detached()` itself has).
* When the span must outlive the current thread (e.g. handed to a job
* queue), convert to a plain SpanGuard with `operator SpanGuard() &&`:
* that pops the Scope eagerly on the origin thread and yields a
* thread-free guard.

*
* Usage examples:
*
* 1. Same-thread scoped tracing (child inherits parent automatically):
* @code
* using namespace xrpl::telemetry;
*
* ScopedSpanGuard span(
* TraceCategory::Rpc, rpc_span::prefix::command, commandName);
* span.setAttribute(rpc_span::attr::command, commandName);
* // childSpan parents to `span` because it is active on this thread
* auto child = span.childSpan(rpc_span::op::dispatch);
* @endcode
*
* 2. Capture on this thread, hand off to another (edge case):
* @code
* using namespace xrpl::telemetry;
*
* auto scoped = ScopedSpanGuard::freshRoot(
* TraceCategory::Ledger, seg::ledger, ledger_span::op::build);
* // Pop the scope now, on this thread, and move a thread-free
* // SpanGuard into the job.
* SpanGuard span = std::move(scoped);
* jobQueue.addJob([g = std::move(span)]() mutable { doWork(); });
* @endcode
*
* @note Thread safety: A ScopedSpanGuard must be constructed AND
* destroyed on the same thread — its Scope binds to that thread's
* context stack. `operator SpanGuard() &&` and the destructor must
* both run on the owning thread; both check this with an XRPL_ASSERT
* in debug/test/fuzzing builds. `operator SpanGuard() &&` pops the
* scope eagerly, so the resulting SpanGuard is thread-free.
*
* @note Known limitations:
* - Non-movable: cannot be stored in a container that relocates, and
* cannot be returned then move-assigned into an existing variable.
* Store the thread-free SpanGuard (via `operator SpanGuard() &&`)
* instead when a movable handle is needed.
* - Same attribute-removal limitation as SpanGuard.
