      Context

      Split from PYTHON-5947, which covered operation and transaction spans together. That ticket now covers operation spans only; this one covers the ``"transaction"`` pseudo-span the OpenTelemetry driver specification requires around a transaction's operations.

      Depends on the operation spans from PYTHON-5947, since the transaction span is passed as the explicit parent when an operation span starts.

      Definition of done

      • A ``"transaction"`` span covers start_transaction() through commit_transaction()/abort_transaction(), with the operations inside nested under it.
      • A retried with_transaction() produces one span for the whole call rather than one per attempt.
      • Committing or aborting a transaction that never started on the server closes its span.
      • A transaction span parents only its own session's operations.

      Pitfalls

      • The span must be passed as an explicit parent rather than pushed as ambient context, or a concurrently running unrelated session's operations are captured by it.
      • with_transaction() and the direct API can be active on the same session, so ownership of the span has to be tracked rather than assumed.
      • Transaction spans only run on a replica set; standalone and sharded skip them.
