Pratik Mankawde f52673b6c1 feat(telemetry): correct ledger-close-time derivation on dashboards
The "ledger close time" was mis-derived and partly un-queryable:

- Build vs Close Duration derived close time from the consensus.ledger_close
  span, which only wraps the onClose() prologue (~0.8ms live) — not the close.
  Repoint the close series to consensus.round (full round, live P95 ~4.8s).
- The network close-time value (close_time) lived only as a span attribute,
  un-queryable in Prometheus and unfit as a spanmetrics label (monotonic
  timestamp -> unbounded cardinality). Expose it as last_close_time on the
  existing server_info observable gauge (native gauge, no new instrument).
- Add a "Ledger Close Interval & Age" panel to ledger-operations and
  node-health: interval = 1/rate(ledgers_closed_total) (counter-based,
  scrape-independent); age = time() - (last_close_time + epoch_offset).

A gauge delta is deliberately NOT used for the interval — a timestamp gauge's
delta aliases to the scrape period, not the close cadence (verified live).
Guardrail comments in both collector configs record why close_time must never
become a spanmetrics dimension. Docs (09-reference) and the operator runbook
updated to match.
