Description

Previous discussion: #412

We used to follow the feature flag in span (defined in OTEL spec 1.27) path, so we build the telemetry story on ActivityEvent of the .NET Activity system.
But, recently, I found in OTEL spec 1.30, "feature flag in span" has been removed. There is only "feature flag in log`. We should revisit the decision we've made.

Research direction

Start by reading the previous discussion in issue #412 and the current use of .NET ActivityEvent for feature-flag telemetry. Compare that decision with the linked OpenTelemetry 1.30 semantic conventions. Done requires a settled direction for the span-based approach and the resulting implementation scope.
