refactor: simplify OpenTelemetry tracing configuration

Simplifies the OpenTelemetry tracing setup by removing the redundant
OTEL_ENABLED flag and using the presence of OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
to determine if tracing should be enabled. This follows the standard
OpenTelemetry environment variable conventions more closely.

Changes:
- Remove OTEL_ENABLED/tracing_enabled flag in favor of checking if
  OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set
- Add OTEL_EXPORTER_VERIFY_SSL configuration option for OTLP endpoints
  with self-signed certificates (defaults to false for development)
- Move HTTPXClientInstrumentor initialization to module level to ensure
  httpx calls are traced across all Nextcloud API requests
- Add tracing spans to vector sync operations (scan_user_documents)
- Fix authorization header logging to only warn about missing headers
  in OAuth mode (BasicAuth mode doesn't use Authorization headers)
- Update observability documentation to reflect simplified configuration
- Refactor Dockerfile to use --no-editable flag for uv sync

Breaking changes:
- OTEL_ENABLED environment variable is removed
- Tracing is now automatically enabled when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
  is set

Migration guide:
- Remove OTEL_ENABLED=true from environment configuration
- Tracing will be enabled automatically if OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
  is configured
