test(otel): add unit tests for empty events/links flattening (#1198)

Document the expected behaviour of flatten_events and flatten_links
when called with empty slices, and the fall-back logic inside
flatten_span_record that the PR #1196 fix relies on:

- test_flatten_events_empty_slice: flatten_events(&[]) returns []
- test_flatten_links_empty_slice: flatten_links(&[]) returns []
- test_flatten_span_record_events_only_no_links: span with events but
  no links produces one record per event, each enriched with span fields
- test_flatten_span_record_links_only_no_events: span with links but
  no events produces one record per link, each enriched with span fields
