[PECOBLR-1143] Implement telemetry Phase 4-5: Export infrastructure and opt-in configuration

This commit implements the remaining components for PECOBLR-1143 (Phases 4-5):

Phase 4: Export Infrastructure
- Implement telemetryExporter with HTTP POST to /api/2.0/telemetry-ext
- Add retry logic with exponential backoff (100ms base, 3 retries)
- Integrate with circuit breaker for endpoint protection
- Implement tag filtering via shouldExportToDatabricks()
- Add error swallowing to ensure telemetry never impacts driver
- Support both http:// and https:// URLs for testing

Phase 5: Opt-In Configuration Integration
- Implement isTelemetryEnabled() with 5-level priority logic:
  1. forceEnableTelemetry=true - bypasses all server checks
  2. enableTelemetry=false - explicit opt-out
  3. enableTelemetry=true + server flag - user opt-in with server control
  4. Server flag only - default Databricks-controlled behavior
  5. Default disabled - fail-safe default
- Wire up with existing featureFlagCache for server flag checks
- Handle errors gracefully (default to disabled on failures)

Testing:
- Add 17 comprehensive unit tests for exporter (success, retries, circuit breaker, tag filtering, error swallowing, exponential backoff, context cancellation)
- Add 8 unit tests for isTelemetryEnabled (all 5 priority levels, error handling, server scenarios)
- All 70+ telemetry tests passing

Documentation:
- Update DESIGN.md checklist to mark Phases 3-5 as completed

This completes the core telemetry infrastructure for PECOBLR-1143.
Next phases (6-7) will add metric collection and driver integration.
