style: fix trailing whitespace in validation workflow and expand OTEL docs

- Remove trailing whitespace from validate-action-output.yml workflow file
- Add clarification to README about OpenTelemetry environment variable support
- Document that OTEL_ variables are automatically read from job steps
- Reference OpenTelemetry SDK environment variable specification for extended configuration options
- Improve documentation clarity for users configuring the action

+This action relies on the OpenTelemetry SDK, which automatically reads `OTEL_` environment variables from `jobs.<job_id>.steps[*].env`. 
+The table above lists commonly used variables, but other variables defined in the [OpenTelemetry Environment Variable Specification](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/configuration/sdk-environment-variables/) may also work depending on SDK support.
