feat: OpenTelemetry tracing (#1206)

Adds OpenTelemetry tracing, configured through the standard `OTEL_*` environment variables and off until an OTLP endpoint is set.

Each job becomes a trace with a span per step, so operators can see where CI time goes in their existing observability backend. Jobs receive only `TRACEPARENT`, so instrumented tools inside them join the trace without seeing the collector's credentials. Metrics stay on the Prometheus endpoint, which a collector can scrape. See [docs/telemetry.md](https://gitea.com/wmTJc9IK0Q/runner/src/branch/otel/docs/telemetry.md) for setup and security notes.

Also keeps `GITHUB_SHA` and `GITHUB_REF` fixed for a whole run when HEAD moves during `exec` runs and the act tests.
