Subject: [PATCH 01/12] docs: add missing modules to sphinx documentation build

Add RST files and toctree entries for modules that were not included
in the sphinx doc build:

API:
- opentelemetry._events (Events API)
- opentelemetry.attributes (Attributes utilities)
- opentelemetry.trace.propagation (Trace context propagation)

SDK:
- opentelemetry.sdk._events (Events SDK implementation)
- opentelemetry.sdk._logs.export (Log export processors and exporters)

Closes #2573

Subject: [PATCH 05/12] address review: remove events API, fix
 get_finished_logs xref, move changelog

- Remove docs/api/_events.rst and docs/sdk/_events.rst (events API is
  deprecated per MikeGoldsmith, avoid exposing it in docs).
- Remove _events entries from api/index.rst and sdk/index.rst toctrees.
- Drop Event class nitpick_ignore entry (no longer needed).
- Fix docstring cross-reference on InMemoryLogRecordExporter from :func:
  to :meth: since get_finished_logs is a method, and drop its
  nitpick_ignore entry.
- Move changelog entry from 1.41.0/0.62b0 to Unreleased.

Subject: [PATCH 07/12] docs: re-export AnyValue from attributes module for
 sphinx forward-ref resolution

sphinx_autodoc_typehints calls get_type_hints on BoundedAttributes,
which uses _ExtendedAttributes (Mapping[str, 'AnyValue']) from util.types.
The forward ref to 'AnyValue' resolves in BoundedAttributes' __globals__
(the attributes module), not in util.types where it is defined.
Re-export AnyValue into the attributes module namespace so the
forward ref resolves and the docs build succeeds.

Subject: [PATCH 12/12] docs: drop dead trace toctree (no
 trace.{status,span,propagation}.rst exist)
