feat(shutdown): wire OTLP tracer flush into shutdown coordinator (closes #71) (#79)

Replaces \`stub_tracer_shutdown_hook()\` placeholder with a real OTLP
flush wired through the #64 graceful-shutdown coordinator. Signal-driven
shutdown (SIGTERM/SIGINT) now flushes the tracer provider inside the
drain phase.

## Approach

New \`TracerShutdown::into_coordinator_hook()\` returns an
\`Option<Box<dyn FnOnce() -> Pin<Box<dyn Future + Send>> + Send +
'static>>\` matching \`ShutdownCoordinator::register\`'s closure
signature. Takes the provider out of self (ownership transfer to the
coordinator). Returns \`None\` when no OTLP endpoint was configured —
caller skips registration.

\`main.rs\` extracts the hook before \`serve()\` runs; non-\`serve\`
subcommands still flush via the explicit \`tracer_guard.shutdown()\` at
end of main (idempotent — no-op once the hook was extracted).

## Tests

3 new unit tests in \`observability::tests\` covering the wiring +
idempotency contract. End-to-end span delivery verification requires a
test OTLP collector — out of scope; production verifies via collector
logs.

## Refs

- #64 graceful shutdown coordinator
- #65 OpenTelemetry distributed tracing
- #71 this followup
