Description
There's a TracingHook that emits span events during the flag evaluation lifecycle, but different vendors have varying support of events. The spec also specifies emitting spans as an option, so I think it's a good idea to so support.
The js-sdk supports this already, but the rest of the SDKs don't, so unsure if it's in-line with the spec.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing Python TracingHook and reading the linked OpenFeature signal-emission patterns. Compare its lifecycle events with the JavaScript SDK's tracing-hooks.ts implementation, then clarify which vendor-supported span events Python should expose. Done means the intended span-hook behavior is aligned with the specification and covered by project validation.
