feat(pdo): add DD_TRACE_PDO_PREPARED_STATEMENTS_ENABLED and DD_TRACE_PDO_LIFECYCLE_COMMANDS_ENABLED

[jbdelhommeau]

Summary

Two complementary PHP PDO configuration variables — a PHP port of the Go tracer's WithIgnoreQueryTypes():

1. DD_TRACE_PDO_PREPARED_STATEMENTS_ENABLED (boolean, default true) — suppress PDO.prepare + PDOStatement.execute spans
2. DD_TRACE_PDO_LIFECYCLE_COMMANDS_ENABLED (boolean, default true) — suppress connection and transaction lifecycle spans

Closes #3751

Rationale — Go tracer parité

In the Go tracer, WithIgnoreQueryTypes(QueryType...) lets users opt out of specific operation types at code level. PHP exposes the same control as environment variables (no redeployment required):

PHP variable	Go WithIgnoreQueryTypes equivalent
DD_TRACE_PDO_PREPARED_STATEMENTS_ENABLED=false	QueryTypePrepare
DD_TRACE_PDO_LIFECYCLE_COMMANDS_ENABLED=false	QueryTypeConnect + QueryTypeBegin + QueryTypeCommit + QueryTypeRollback

This is also consistent with DD_TRACE_REDIS_LIFECYCLE_COMMANDS_ENABLED added in PR #3757 for Redis/Predis.

Behaviour

DD_TRACE_PDO_PREPARED_STATEMENTS_ENABLED

Span	true (default)	false
PDO.prepare	✅	❌
PDOStatement.execute	✅	❌
PDO.exec / PDO.query	✅	✅

DD_TRACE_PDO_LIFECYCLE_COMMANDS_ENABLED

Span	true (default)	false
PDO.__construct	✅	❌
PDO.connect	✅	❌
PDO.beginTransaction	✅ (new)	❌
PDO.commit	✅	❌
PDO.rollBack	✅ (new)	❌
PDO.exec / PDO.query / prepared statements	✅	✅

Connection metadata (out.host, db.system, etc.) is always preserved via ObjectKVStore regardless of flags, so data command spans keep their tags.

Changes

File	Change
ext/configuration.h	Two new CONFIG(BOOL, ...) declarations
src/DDTrace/Integrations/PDO/PDOIntegration.php	Per-call flag checks via install_hook; __construct + connect converted from trace_method; beginTransaction and rollBack added as new traced methods
metadata/supported-configurations.json	Both variables documented
tests/Integrations/PDO/PDOTest.php	Tests for both flags; existing tests updated for new beginTransaction/rollBack spans
tests/randomized/config/envs.php	Both variables added to randomized coverage

Implementation notes

• All lifecycle hooks use install_hook with a per-call dd_trace_env_config() check — necessary because hooks are registered once at init() time but config can change per-request (test isolation via putEnvAndReloadConfig).
• PDO::__construct uses prehook+posthook pair: prehook creates the span (covers constructor duration), posthook stores ObjectKVStore metadata (requires constructor to have completed) and sets span attributes.
• PDOStatement::execute uses $hook->data = true sentinel to avoid a second dd_trace_env_config() call in the posthook.

Test plan

• testPDOPreparedStatementsDisabled — no prepare/execute spans when flag=false
• testPDOPreparedStatementsDisabledDoesNotAffectExec — exec still traced
• testPDOLifecycleCommandsDisabled — no construct/commit spans; exec still traced
• testPDOLifecycleCommandsDisabledTransactions — no beginTransaction/commit/rollBack; exec still traced
• All 34 PDO tests pass (default true preserves existing behaviour)

Hey @jbdelhommeau,

I think it's worth adding such a config given that it's been a repeated ask.

However is the goal really fully eliminating all traces of queries being executed at all via prepared statement?
I feel like we should rather aim at finding ways to coalesce consecutive prepare+execute or repeated execute statements?

(the tracer has facilities to extend the duration of already closed spans etc.)

cc @bwoebi !
No it's more to avoid noise about useless PREPARED STATEMENTS span.
When you generate few request we can generate a lot span and consume our monthly span credit with a poor business value.

Like the dd-trace-go I backported this feature.
