web: integrate OpenTelemetry client observability packages

Administrator requested to merge vb/otel-tracer into main

Created by: valerybugakov

Context

Add basic configuration of the OpenTelemetry tracing to the web application. Based on prior work. Honeycomb guide.

Changes

  1. Removed ENABLE_MONITORING env variable in favor of ENABLE_SENTRY and ENABLE_OPEN_TELEMETRY. Required for standalone-web-server in the development environment to avoid accidentally sending telemetry data from the local env.

  2. Integrated @opentelemetry packages and moved them into a separate chunk. Added new script tags required for the new initial chunk.
