Switch to SPDX license headers
## Description
All Python files in this repo currently use the full Apache 2.0 license header (13 lines):
```python
# Copyright The OpenTelemetry Authors
#
# Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License");
# you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
# You may obtain a copy of the License at
#
# http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0
#
# Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software
# distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS,
# WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.
# See the License for the specific language governing permissions and
# limitations under the License.
```
Other OTel SDKs have already moved to the shorter SPDX format (2 lines):
```python
# Copyright The OpenTelemetry Authors
# SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0
```
This is functionally and legally equivalent. It reduces visual noise and is consistent with the direction other SDKs have taken.
## Precedent
- **Go SDK**: open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#4986 / open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go#4987
- **Java SDK**: Already uses SPDX format
## Scope
~779 `.py` files in this repo would be updated.
## Notes
There is no runtime performance impact — Python strips comments during bytecode compilation. The benefit is purely reduced boilerplate and consistency with other OTel SDKs.
