This PR changes from using the standard OTEL environment variable to turn on OTEL for the CLI to a dedicated (but hidden) switch where you specify the URL. The reason this is hidden is that because Aspire itself deals with telemetry we didn't want people thinking this switch somehow overrode the default OTEL configuration injection for resources running the app host.
This switch is purely for diagnostic purposes around the CLI itself and we didn't want it to be reactive to standard OTEL switches.
