📄 Description

Added documentation for the ENABLE_OTEL_TRACES environment variable.

Documenting change from https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/pull/16507 that only enables traces if this environment variable is set to true

Without this set, using OpenWebUI after 0.6.22 disables traces by default whereas prior they were enabled by default with the ENABLE_OTEL setting

Would resolve https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/issues/17667
