Add DataLoader observability support

Prior to this commit, the `GraphQlObservationInstrumentation` would
instrument the following operations:

* GraphQL requests
* GraphQL data fetching operations

In the case of batch loading operations, the instrumentation would
consider each load call as a separate data fetching operation. This
would significantly clutter recorded traces and would make it look like
"N+1 problems" would still be present.

This commit adds a new "graphql.dataloader" observation for such
operations and avoids recording data fetching observations when
`SelfDescribingDataFetcher` declare that they call batch loading
operations.

Closes gh-1034

== DataLoader instrumentation
GraphQL DataLoader observations are created with the name `"graphql.dataloader"`, observing calls to `@BatchMapping` controller methods and manually registered `DataLoader` instances.
Applications need to configure the `org.springframework.graphql.observation.GraphQlObservationInstrumentation` instrumentation in their application.
It is using the `org.springframework.graphql.observation.DefaultDataLoaderObservationConvention` by default, backed by the `DataLoaderObservationContext`.
By default, the following KeyValues are created:
