feat(gapic): add OpenTelemetry T3 client method span wrapping in gapic_v1.method (D) (#18274)

### Summary
This PR implements **Tier 3 (T3) Client Method Spans** in
`google-api-core`:
- In `google.api_core.gapic_v1.method._GapicCallable.__call__`:
- Starts an OpenTelemetry `SpanKind.CLIENT` span representing the
high-level GAPIC SDK method call (e.g.
`google.cloud.secretmanager.v1.SecretManagerService/ListSecrets`).
- Sets standard T3 attributes (`rpc.system = "grpc"`, `rpc.service`,
`rpc.method`).
- Encompasses client preparation, retry loops, timeouts, and error
handling.
- Automatically establishes context propagation so underlying wire-level
transport (T4) spans attach as children under this parent span.
- Records exceptions and sets span error status if the method terminates
with an unhandled exception.
- Adds comprehensive unit tests in
`packages/google-api-core/tests/unit/gapic/test_method.py`.

### Reference:
