add W3C Baggage support

Fixes #8046

The telemetry-tracing module only propagates W3C Trace Context (traceparent/tracestate) but not W3C Baggage. This prevents downstream consumers from receiving arbitrary key-value metadata through Pub/Sub messages, which is needed for use cases like message routing and queue splitting.

Uses CompositePropagator to combine W3CTraceContextPropagator and W3CBaggagePropagator. No new dependencies required — both are already in @opentelemetry/core.
- Add baggage key to `containsSpanContext`
- Use `context.with()` in injection test

Hi @shivanee-p and @feywind , could you take a look at this when you get a chance?

This adds W3C Baggage propagation support for Pub/Sub (related to #8046). I'm happy to address any feedback you might have!

retain propagation context to prevent dropping baggage

- Store context on message and activate for user callbacks.
- Rename containsSpanContext to containsPropagationContext.
- Update copyright year.
