Add default OTEL telemetry settings to dab init config generation (#3162)

## Why make this change?

`dab init` generates config with no telemetry section, requiring users
to manually edit config or run `dab add-telemetry` to enable standard
OpenTelemetry workflows. This is friction for .NET/Aspire and
containerized scenarios where OTEL env vars are already set by the
orchestrator.

## What is this change?

Adds default OpenTelemetry config to `TryCreateRuntimeConfig()` using
`@env()` references for standard OTEL environment variables. The
generated config now includes:

```json
"telemetry": {
  "open-telemetry": {
    "enabled": true,
    "endpoint": "@env('OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT')",
    "headers": "@env('OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS')",
    "service-name": "@env('OTEL_SERVICE_NAME')"
  }
}
```

Additionally, runtime config loading and OTLP exporter setup are
hardened to gracefully handle missing OTEL env vars:

- **`src/Cli/ConfigGenerator.cs`** — Added `TelemetryOptions` with
`OpenTelemetryOptions` to the `RuntimeConfig` constructed during init.
- **`src/Config/FileSystemRuntimeConfigLoader.cs`** — Changed
`TryLoadKnownConfig` to use
`EnvironmentVariableReplacementFailureMode.Ignore` so missing `@env()`
env vars don't crash config loading — they remain as literal `@env(...)`
strings.
- **`src/Service/Startup.cs`** — Added `Uri.TryCreate` validation in the
OTLP exporter setup guard condition. If the endpoint is null, empty, or
an unresolved `@env(...)` placeholder (not a valid URI), OTLP exporter
setup is skipped entirely and a warning is logged. Updated warning
message to reference "endpoint URI" instead of "connection string".
- **`src/Service/Program.cs`** — Applied the same `Uri.TryCreate`
validation for the logger factory OTLP setup, replacing the previous
`!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace` + `new Uri()` pattern.
- **31 Verify snapshot files** — Updated to reflect the new telemetry
section.
- **`src/Cli.Tests/EndToEndTests.cs`** — E2E tests that deserialize
init-generated config with `doReplaceEnvVar: true` now use
`EnvironmentVariableReplacementFailureMode.Ignore` matching production
behavior. `TestAddTelemetry` assertion updated since telemetry is no
longer null after init.

## How was this tested?

- [x] Integration Tests
- [x] Unit Tests

All 43 `InitTests` pass. `EndToEndTests.TestInitForCosmosDBNoSql`
passes. E2E tests for `TestInitializingRestAndGraphQLGlobalSettings`,
`TestEnablingMultipleCreateOperation`, and `TestAddTelemetry` updated to
accommodate new defaults.

## Sample Request(s)

```bash
dab init --database-type mssql --connection-string "Server=localhost;Database=mydb;"
```

Generated `dab-config.json` now includes the `telemetry.open-telemetry`
section with `@env()` references. If the OTEL env vars are set at
runtime (e.g., by Aspire or a container orchestrator), telemetry export
works automatically. If unset, the `@env()` values remain as literal
strings, the endpoint fails `Uri.TryCreate` validation, and OTLP setup
is gracefully skipped.

> <issue_title>dab init should automatically include default OTEL
settings </issue_title>
> <issue_description>## Problem
> Currently, when running `dab init`, the generated `dab-config.json`
does NOT include default configuration for OpenTelemetry telemetry using
the standard OTEL_* environment variables (such as
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME, etc.). This makes DAB
out-of-the-box telemetry support useless compared to typical .NET
applications and Aspire scenarios.
> 
> ## Proposal
> When `dab init` is run in the CLI, if the telemetry section is being
generated (or whenever the user chooses to include telemetry),
automatically add the following default values to `dab-config.json`:
> 
> ```json
> "telemetry": {
>   "open-telemetry": {
>     "enabled": true,
>     "endpoint": "@env('OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT')",
>     "headers": "@env('OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS')",
>     "exporter-protocol": "@env('OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL')",
>     "service-name": "@env('OTEL_SERVICE_NAME')"
>   }
> }
> ```
> 
> These defaults should follow the documented OTEL env variable mapping,
so users can use standard .NET/OTEL workflows with container
orchestrators and Aspire. If the env vars are not set at runtime, the
config values should remain as-is or fall back gracefully.
> 
> ## Benefit
> - Aligns DAB telemetry configuration with the "expected" .NET/Aspire
experience
> - Simplifies Aspire integration and containerized telemetry export
> - Reduces user error/misconfiguration
> - DAB users don't need to hand-edit config to enable standard OTEL
telemetry flows
> 
> ## Implementation Guidance
> - Extend CLI config template logic to include the above section when
telemetry is requested/enabled
> - Consider surfacing a CLI flag to toggle inclusion of OTEL env
mappings
> - Document the behavior in `dab init` help and in DAB docs
>
