Fix OpenTelemetry 2.17.0-alpha dependency version conflicts

[Copilot]

This PR fixes the CI failures in #4264 caused by dependency version conflicts when upgrading OpenTelemetry instrumentation from 2.16.0-alpha to 2.17.0-alpha.

Problem

The original dependabot PR #4264 updated only the otelInstrumentationAlphaVersion but missed updating the corresponding OpenTelemetry SDK version. This created a dependency conflict because:

• OpenTelemetry instrumentation 2.17.0-alpha requires OpenTelemetry SDK 1.51.0
• The project was still pinned to OpenTelemetry SDK 1.50.0
• This caused Gradle dependency resolution to fail with version constraint conflicts

Solution

Updated all OpenTelemetry dependency versions to maintain consistency:

// Before
val otelSdkVersion = "1.50.0"
val otelInstrumentationAlphaVersion = "2.17.0-alpha"
val otelInstrumentationVersion = "2.16.0"

// After  
val otelSdkVersion = "1.51.0"
val otelInstrumentationAlphaVersion = "2.17.0-alpha"
val otelInstrumentationVersion = "2.17.0"

Breaking Changes Assessment

OpenTelemetry 2.17.0 introduced breaking changes to Tomcat metric names (e.g., http.server.tomcat.errorCount → tomcat.error.count), but analysis of the codebase confirmed that ApplicationInsights-Java doesn't reference these deprecated metric names, so no code changes were needed.

Validation

• ✅ Clean build completes successfully (1313 tasks)
• ✅ All unit tests pass (189 tasks)
• ✅ JMX metric smoke tests pass
• ✅ No references to deprecated Tomcat metrics found in codebase
• ✅ Dependency conflicts resolved

Fixes #4267.

@copilot rebase

I cannot perform a rebase operation directly as I don't have the ability to use git rebase with force push. The rebase would require:

1. Fetching the latest changes from the base branch
2. Rebasing my commits on top of the latest base
3. Potentially resolving conflicts
4. Force pushing the rebased branch

Since I can only use the report_progress tool for git operations, I cannot perform these operations. You'll need to either:

• Perform the rebase manually, or
• Let me know if you'd like me to recreate the changes on a fresh branch instead
