Problem
At the moment, metrics in the JetBrains extensions are collected as singular datapoints independent of each other. Modern observability frameworks, as well as our long-term goals are to be able to correlate these data flows over a single user flow. This requires the 'trace ID' concept which is high-friction in the current model.
Solution
Generate 'fluent builders' that wrap the OpenTelemetry SDK to allow us to leverage the SDK to record trace/span IDs automatically, but still expose a good amount of type safety based on the metric schema. This PR references base classes proposed in aws/aws-toolkit-jetbrains#4982.
