This PR adds group and action names to the traces emitted, making it possible to determine which actions are taking the most time to run, or fail the most often. Resolves #154

Dynamic trace names are discouraged by tracing's const trace name argument, so names are provided as fields.

1. Actions and groups are now marked as errored when they fail
2. Set the otel.name so it includes the group or action name

This lets us easily query/aggregate which groups or actions are failing most often.

This fixes oscope-dev#185 and improves on the solution for oscope-dev#154 implemented in oscope-dev#157.

We accomplish the dynamic span naming by leveraging one of the "special fields" detailed here
https://docs.rs/tracing-opentelemetry/latest/tracing_opentelemetry/

The naming convention is loosely based on the OTEL http semantic convention of "{method} {url}".
Several other of the semantic convention standards are similar as well.
https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/semconv/http/http-spans/

In order to access the OTEL Span's `set_status()` method, I needed to upgrade all of our opentelemetry dependencies to the latest version.
When I did this, traces were no longer being properly flushed before exiting the application,
so I updated the implementation based off of this example from the opentelemetry-otlp crate.
