Introduce load-balanced channel for OpenTelemetry exporters

Add client-side load balancing to OTLP gRPC connections using ginepro.
When NL_OTEL_ENDPOINT is set, the telemetry system creates a load-balanced
channel shared across log, trace, and metric exporters. This enables better
distribution of telemetry traffic across multiple OTLP collector instances
and improves overall system resilience.

- Add ginepro dependency for gRPC load balancing
- Upgrade OpenTelemetry dependencies from 0.29 to 0.30
- Change init_tracing() to async to support channel initialization
- Add NL_OTEL_ENDPOINT environment variable for configuration
- Update all OTLP exporters to use shared load-balanced channel
