🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

• service: Merge resource experimental and stable groups for service and telemetry.sdk (#1423)
  Discovered when fixing weaver#306

• db: Fix telemetry for complex queries:

• introduce the db.query.summary attribute to provide a concise, low-cardinality
  representation of the query text.

• use db.query.summary as the span name and as a recommended attribute on metrics.

• avoid capturing db.operation.name and db.collection.name when the query
  involves multiple operations or collections, to prevent ambiguity.
  (#521, #805, #1159)

• url: Specific URL query string values should now be redacted by default due to concerns around leaking credentials. (#971)

• messaging: Fix typo in schemas for messaging attribute changes (#1595)
