Adds a new attribute for tracking the reasoning effort parameter sent to reasoning-capable models. Supported values vary by provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini), so the brief documents per-provider levels rather than a fixed enum. Not in OTel.

| * Constrains the effort on reasoning for reasoning models. Supported values vary by provider: OpenAI supports `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high` (and `none`, `xhigh` on newer models); Anthropic supports `low`, `medium`, `high`; Google Gemini 3 supports `low`, `high`. `gen_ai.request.reasoning_effort` |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Not sure how useful the per-provider enumeration is since it's model dependent and the current list is not completely accurate, e.g., Gemini has minimal and medium as well.
