feat: Added OpenTelemetry Metrics Support and Doc

This commit introduces OpenTelemetry (OTel) metrics support to the
application and updates the README.md with comprehensive setup and
testing instructions for the new observability features.

Key Changes:

1. **OpenTelemetry Metrics Support**:
   - Integrated OpenTelemetry metrics to provide real-time monitoring
     and analysis of application performance and behavior.
   - Added necessary OpenTelemetry dependencies and configurations in
     the `pyproject.toml` and various application files.
   - Implemented new metrics collection and tracing in strategic
     locations within the application code to gather valuable insights.
   - Added unit tests to ensure that the counters will get updated as
     expected

2. **Environment Configuration**:
   - Included `.env.example` with necessary Grafana Cloud OTLP
     credentials configuration, providing a template for users to set up
     their environment for metrics collection.

3. **Documentation Update for README.md**:
   - Provided detailed instructions on setting up OpenTelemetry metrics,
     configuring the environment, and testing the metrics collection.
   - Added sections detailing the steps to verify the integration and
     view the collected metrics in Grafana.

Testing Done:
- **PyTests**: Ran the full suite of PyTests to ensure all existing
  functionalities continue to work as expected and new observability
  features do not introduce regressions.
- **Manual Testing**: Conducted manual testing to verify that the
  metrics correctly show up in the Grafana explore page. Verified that
  the application runs smoothly in both standard and headless modes and
  that the OTel metrics are being generated and exported as configured.
- **Observability Verification**: Checked Grafana after running the
  application to confirm that metrics like face detection counts and
  launch counts are properly recorded and visible.

Addresses GitHub Issue:
- This commit addresses GitHub issue #49, fulfilling the need for
  advanced observability and monitoring capabilities within the
  application.

+## Setting Up OpenTelemetry Metrics
+
+### Open-Telemetry Pre-requisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
+
+- An account with Grafana Cloud or a similar platform that supports OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol).
+- The application's latest dependencies installed, including OpenTelemetry packages.
+
+### Open-Telemetry Configuration
+
+1. **Environment Variables**:
+   Copy the `.env.example` to a new file named `.env` and fill in the Grafana Cloud OTLP credentials:
+   - `GRAFANA_OTLP_USERNAME`: Your Grafana Cloud instance ID.
+   - `GRAFANA_OTLP_API_ENCODED_TOKEN`: Your Grafana Cloud API token, base64 encoded.
+   - `GRAFANA_OTLP_ENDPOINT`: Your Grafana Cloud OTLP gateway endpoint.
+
+1. **Validating the Configuration**:
+   Ensure that the environment variables are correctly set up by starting the application and point your camera to a known face. Once a face is detected it should start sending the metrics to grafana cloud within 10 seconds. Check for any `Status.UNAVAILABLE` errors related to OpenTelemetry.
+
+### Testing Metrics Collection
+
+1. **Running the Application**:
+   Start the application with the necessary flags. If OpenTelemetry is correctly configured, it will start collecting and sending metrics to the specified endpoint.
+
+1. **Viewing Metrics**:
+   - Navigate to your Grafana dashboard and explore the metrics under the explore tab.
+   - Look for metrics named `faces_detected`, `launch_count`, or other application-specific metrics as configured in the OTel decorators.
+
+### Verifying Metrics in Grafana
+
+After running the application and generating some data, you should see metrics appearing in your Grafana dashboard. Verify that the metrics make sense and reflect the application's operations accurately. Look for any discrepancies or unexpected behavior in metric reporting.
