Removed experiment flag still used in client.py

High Severity

The otel_powered_performance key was removed from the Experiments TypedDict, but client.py still checks self.options["_experiments"].get("otel_powered_performance", False) to enable OTel-powered performance and add OpenTelemetryIntegration to default integrations. This is an incomplete cleanup — the runtime code in client.py (and corresponding tests in test_experimental.py) still depends on the removed flag, leaving an inconsistent state. If OTel is no longer experimental, the gating logic in client.py also needs to be updated to reflect the new way OTel gets enabled.
