What happened?

Description

Common definition of error.type doesn't mention that fully qualified name should be used (when exception type is recorded).

It's specifically important on Python where exception_type.__name__ is not qualified.

Expected Result

Here's how we recommend it in HTTP semconv

[1]: If the request fails with an error before response status code was sent or received, error.type SHOULD be set to exception type (its fully-qualified class name, if applicable) or a component-specific low cardinality error identifier.

TODO:

• update error.type description - done in Clarify fully-qualified name should be used for error.type #945
• add per-language table on how to record exception.type (and error.type) see Clarify fully-qualified name should be used for error.type #945 (comment)

Semantic convention version

1.24.0
