Adding new attributes

1. Add a new attribute to a new or existing attribute group in model/registry.
2. Add a reference to the new attribute in a new or existing attribute group in model/trace.
3. If you are adding a new attribute group, add a new semconv HTML comment tag to the README.md file with the name of the new attribute group.
4. Run make all to update the generated files.
