Enhance README consistency across OpenTelemetry components

[Copilot]

This PR addresses inconsistencies in README files across OpenTelemetry Rust components to provide a uniform documentation experience for users.

Changes Made

Enhanced opentelemetry-http README

• Added comprehensive "What does this crate contain?" section detailing:
  • Context propagation capabilities
  • HTTP client support (reqwest, hyper)
  • Exporter utilities
  • Sampling strategy support
• Added "Related crates" section linking to core OpenTelemetry components
• Improved description clarity with explicit OpenTelemetry integration mention

Improved opentelemetry-stdout README

• Enhanced description to clearly explain educational/debugging purpose

Structure Consistency

All README files now follow a consistent structure:

1. Title with OpenTelemetry logo
2. Clear description with purpose
3. Complete badge set (crates.io, docs.rs, LICENSE, CI, Slack)
4. Overview section
5. "What does this crate contain?" section (where applicable)
6. "Getting started" section linking to docs
7. Release notes section
8. Supported Rust versions section

This ensures users can easily navigate documentation and find relevant information across all OpenTelemetry Rust components.

Fixes #1306.
