feat(otlp): add gRPC protocol support for trace ingestion

Add gRPC support for OTLP trace ingestion on port 4317, complementing
the existing HTTP endpoint on port 4318.

Changes:
- Add tonic dependency with transport/server features
- Implement TraceService trait in new grpc_agent.rs module
- Refactor OtlpProcessor to accept ExportTraceServiceRequest directly
- Update enablement logic to check both HTTP and gRPC endpoints
- Wire up max message size config from DD_OTLP_CONFIG_RECEIVER_PROTOCOLS_GRPC_MAX_RECV_MSG_SIZE_MIB
- Add integration tests for gRPC protocol

Users can now configure gRPC OTLP export by setting:
  DD_OTLP_CONFIG_RECEIVER_PROTOCOLS_GRPC_ENDPOINT=localhost:4317

Binary size impact: +16 bytes (negligible - tonic transport was already
pulled in transitively).
