Instana OpenTelemetry Correlation for Pure OTel Scenarios

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We have a pure OpenTelemetry setup where the OtelCollector directly exports data to the Instana SaaS backend, without any Instana Agent in between.

Currently, entity correlation across layers like ApplicationPerspective > Service > Endpoint > Trace > Process > Cluster is limited, even though the configurations specified in the documentation were followed:.https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/instana-observability/current?topic=opentelemetry-related-service-mappings-infrastructure-correlation

Our expectation:
Achieve seamless end-to-end traceability across all layers, enabling correlation in both directions, regardless of the starting point.

This is essential for maintaining full visibility and operational efficiency in pure OpenTelemetry-based environments.
