Create errors from Otel data #112113

Description

Problem Statement

We are heavily invested in OpenTelemetry. Our applications send telemetry to an internal OpenTelemetry Collector, which then forwards data to multiple backends, including Sentry.

Requiring the Sentry SDK in every application just to capture errors feels redundant. In our setup, the relevant error information is already present in the telemetry pipeline, alongside spans and trace context.

We would like Sentry to support deriving error events directly from OpenTelemetry data sent through the collector, without requiring per-service installation of the Sentry SDK.
