Fixes #1315
Changes
Relaxes DB, GenAI and FaaS span kind conventions to use SHOULD instead of MUST.
A good justification for this would be in-memory db or gen-ai model running in the same process.
Since there are a lot of variations of FaaS spans and they usually follow some other conventions (HTTP or messaging) their span kinds can't be too strict.
