Coordinate with https://github.com/lost-rob0t/starintel-server/issues/128.

Add optional operator-controlled OTLP observability to the StarIntel database actor.

Optional init/config observability block; default OFF/no exporter/no observability network traffic.
No required OpenObserve/collector for normal operation.
Instrument actor lifecycle, datastore connection health, request/operation latency/status, queue/backpressure, retries/conflicts, and errors.
Never export document bodies, query payloads, credentials, or raw target/investigation data by default; allow-list safe operation metadata.
Credentials for exporter come from env/secret references.
Exporter failure cannot alter persistence semantics or block the actor.
Tests cover disabled zero-network, configured export, and exporter outage.
Document generic OTLP/OpenObserve setup.

Docs: https://openobserve.ai/docs/ingestion/

Operator observability only; no anonymous/product telemetry.
