* refactor(spring): extract Observation decorators into shared dapr-spring-boot-observation module

Eliminates the verbatim duplication between dapr-spring-boot-autoconfigure
(Spring Boot 3.x) and dapr-spring-boot-4-autoconfigure (Spring Boot 4.x):
both modules previously held 100%-identical copies of ObservationDaprClient
(~820 LOC) and ObservationDaprWorkflowClient (~400 LOC, including the W3C
traceparent/tracestate formatters, repeated 4 times overall).

Introduces a new Spring-agnostic module dapr-spring/dapr-spring-boot-observation
under package io.dapr.spring.observation.client holding a single canonical copy
of both decorators plus a package-private TraceContextFormat helper that
replaces the 4 duplicated formatter copies. The module has zero Spring imports
so it can be shared safely across Spring Boot 3.x and 4.x without API drift.

Autoconfigure modules now depend on dapr-spring-boot-observation (optional),
replacing their direct opentelemetry-api dependency. Consumers who skip
observation wiring still don't pull OTel onto the classpath.

OtelTracingClientInterceptor is now a private static final singleton on
ObservationDaprWorkflowClient instead of allocated per client — justified by
its existing javadoc which already stated it is stateless and shareable.

Tests for the decorators themselves moved to the new module (33 pass); the
Spring-wiring test DaprClientObservationAutoConfigurationTest stays in boot 3
with updated imports.

Net: -1104 lines.

* fix(spring): make dapr-spring-boot-observation non-optional in autoconfigure poms

The autoconfigure classes directly reference ObservationDaprClient and
ObservationDaprWorkflowClient in their bean factory methods. When the
observation module was marked <optional>, it was not propagated through
the starters, causing a potential NoClassDefFoundError at runtime for
users with a non-noop ObservationRegistry (e.g. actuator + tracing).

Removing <optional> restores the original behavior: the Observation
decorator classes are always on the classpath wherever the autoconfig
is loaded.
