* feat(otlp): report the cause of rejected trace spans

When trace-v1 ingestion cannot coerce an attribute value, it falls back to
single-span writes and rejects the bad span. That behavior is correct, but the
OTLP partial-success message only carried `Rejected span <trace_id>:<span_id>
(InvalidArguments)`: the column, the source value, the source type and the
target type were all dropped, so locating the bad attribute required adding a
detailed exporter on the collector side and replaying traffic.

Two places lost the information. `prepare_trace_column_rewrites` built a message
without the failing value, and the span rejection path kept only the status code
from the error.

Coercion errors now name the failing value, e.g.

    failed to coerce trace column 'span_attributes.http.response.body.size'
    in table 'opentelemetry_traces' from String("") to Int64

and the rejection detail carries that cause. Values are user data, so a string
keeps at most 16 characters, is escaped, and binary payloads report only their
length; the cause itself is bounded at 256 characters. Both truncations cut on a
char boundary.

Failure details now deduplicate: repeats of the same (site, cause) collapse into
one entry with an occurrence count, keyed on the untruncated cause so two
failures that differ past the display limit stay separate. Only four distinct
entries are retained and the rest are counted, which keeps the state bounded no
matter how many distinct bad values a request carries. A fully rejected request
is logged at warn level and a partial success at debug level, since the latter
repeats every export interval; the detail goes out as a Debug field so a newline
in an attribute key cannot forge log lines.

Rejection semantics are unchanged: partial success, same accepted and rejected
counts, same HTTP status mapping.

* refactor(otlp): compare failure keys directly instead of hashing

The dedup identity was a DefaultHasher fingerprint of `(label, key)`, which
bought a fixed 8 bytes per entry at the cost of an import, four lines, and a
collision argument the reader has to make. Entries are capped at four and a
cause runs a couple of hundred characters, so the saving is about a kilobyte
per in-flight request while the column name it avoids retaining is already held
several times over by the request itself.

Compare the strings instead, keeping the untruncated cause as the key so
failures differing past the display limit still stay apart. Labels are metric
label values and always static, so the entry borrows them.
