Record RSpec's example.id as a span attribute to provide unique identification for each test example. This is particularly valuable when examples are created dynamically (e.g., within loops), where multiple examples share the same file location but have distinct IDs.

This PR adds RSpec's
example.idas a span attribute to provide unique identification for each test example.The existing
rspec.example.locationattribute cannot uniquely identify dynamically generated examples (e.g., examples created within loops or using data tables) because multiple examples share the same source file location. RSpec'sexample.idprovides a stable, unique identifier across test runs even for these dynamic cases.Example format:
./spec/foo_spec.rb[1:2:3]This enables better correlation and tracking of individual test executions in observability platforms.
