Description
## Problem
OTel GenAI semconv conditionally requires `gen_ai.request.choice.count` "if available and != 1". Google's `GenerateContentConfig` has `candidate_count` but it is not captured.
## Context
This attribute helps understand when users request multiple response candidates, which impacts token usage and cost.
## Files
* `sentry_sdk/integrations/google_genai/utils.py` — `set_span_data_for_request()`
* `sentry_sdk/consts.py` — uses `SPANDATA.GEN_AI_CHOICE` which maps to `gen_ai.choice`
## Acceptance Criteria
* `candidate_count` from config is captured on the span when present and != 1
* Test added to verify the attribute is set
