Subject: [PATCH] Exclude sensitive configurations from configuration telemetry

Add a `sensitive` flag to the configuration definition (zai_config_entry and its
memoized entry) so a DD_* configuration can be marked in its CONFIG(...)
declaration in ext/configuration.h. The configuration-telemetry enqueue loop
over the DD_* config table skips entries whose flag is set; DD_API_KEY and
DD_TRACE_ENABLED carry it.

Remove the OTLP header configurations (OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS,
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_HEADERS, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_HEADERS) from the
OpenTelemetry SDK configuration whitelist so they are not tracked for telemetry.

Derive the "sensitive": true markers in metadata/supported-configurations.json
from the flag in ext/configuration.h, plus the OTLP header variants the
generator lists.

Add a .phpt test and extend the loader functional test to assert these
configuration values do not appear in the enqueued configuration telemetry
while non-sensitive configurations remain reported.
