Custom call tags and metrics

Previously, when a call was created from both an exit and entry span, custom call tags and metrics were extracted from only one span, with the entry span taking precedence. In this release, custom call tags and metrics are extracted and merged from both spans, with values from the entry span taking precedence.

Filtering calls by OpenTelemetry span attributes with array-type values

OpenTelemetry trace data can provide span attributes with different types of values: string, Boolean, numeric, or arrays. These attributes can be viewed as part of call details, but only attributes with type 'string' were parsed for filtering and grouping. Now, span attributes with array-type values, particularly the http.request.header.<key> attributes introduced in recent versions of the OpenTelemetry semantic conventions. It can also be used for filtering and grouping calls.
