* feat(world-vercel): synthesize per-event client spans on the WS transport

PR #3084 added the opt-in `WORKFLOW_EVENTS_TRANSPORT=ws` path and listed
"no client-side span on the WS path" as a known limitation. Because event
writes become multiplexed frames on one long-lived socket rather than
individual `fetch` calls, the per-event `http POST` CLIENT span that the
HTTP transport produced simply disappeared — traces went from one span
per event to nothing between the invocation and the server.

Restore it by synthesizing a request-shaped span around each frame, and
give the upgrade its own span:

- Extract `withHttpClientSpan` / `recordClientSpanStatus` from
  `instrumentedFetch` in `http-core.ts` so the synthetic span is emitted
  by the same envelope as the real one and cannot drift from it.
  `InstrumentedFetchOptions` now extends `HttpClientSpanOptions`.
- `postEventFrameOverWs` opens `http POST` with `url.full` pointing at the
  v4 REST endpoint the frame is forwarded into, so per-event traces and
  latency dashboards keep working across the flag. Extract `eventsV4Url`
  so that URL cannot drift from the one the HTTP path actually requests.
- Tag both transports with `workflow.events.transport` (`http` | `ws`) and
  `workflow.event.type`; the WS path additionally sets
  `network.protocol.name=websocket`, `workflow.events.ws.url` (the real
  wire destination) and `workflow.events.ws.req_id` (join key to the
  server's log line for the frame), so the span is never mistaken for a
  real HTTP request.
- Add a `workflow.events.ws.connect` span around the upgrade — the one
  genuinely-HTTP request here, previously the invisible half of every WS
  write's latency — carrying `workflow.events.ws.reconnect_attempt`. This
  also puts `resolveUpgradeHeaders`' trace-context injection inside a
  client span, as AGENTS.md requires.
- Fix `parseServer` to treat `wss:` as TLS (port 443, not 80).

Out of scope, deliberately: per-frame `traceparent` (needs a frame-meta
field plus a server change) and Vercel's outgoing-requests view (that
instruments global `fetch`, so a frame structurally cannot appear there).

Covered by `ws-transport-spans.test.ts`, which drives the real selection +
transport + adapter stack over a fake socket and asserts span shape,
failure reporting, retry behaviour and HTTP/WS parity.
