fix(anthropic): record finish_reasons for empty-content streams

[Solaris-star]

Summary

Streamed Anthropic responses that end with a valid stop_reason but an empty content array recorded neither gen_ai.response.finish_reasons nor gen_ai.output.messages.

Root cause

_process_response_item only copied message_delta.stop_reason onto already-accumulated content-block events. With no content blocks, events stayed empty, so set_streaming_response_attributes early-returned.

Change

• Store message-level stop_reason on complete_response during message_delta
• Pass the full complete_response into set_streaming_response_attributes (still accepts the legacy bare events list used by existing tests)
• Fallback: if events yield no finish reasons, use the message-level stop_reason
• When content is empty but stop_reason is present, still emit an empty assistant output.messages entry

Test plan

• test_streaming_empty_content_records_finish_reason
• test_streaming_process_response_item_stores_message_stop_reason
• Existing streaming tests remain compatible (bare events list still accepted)

Fixes #4362

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Anthropic streaming accumulation now preserves message-level stop reasons. Span attribute generation accepts complete responses, records fallback finish reasons, and emits empty assistant messages for empty-content streams. Tests cover both behaviors.

Changes

Anthropic streaming completion attributes

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Message stop-reason propagation packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-anthropic/.../streaming.py	message_delta stop reasons are stored on the complete response and copied to existing event finish reasons before span processing.
Streaming attribute emission and validation packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-anthropic/.../span_utils.py, packages/opentelemetry-instrumentation-anthropic/tests/test_semconv_span_attrs.py	set_streaming_response_attributes accepts complete responses or event lists, uses message-level stop reasons as a fallback, emits empty assistant messages, and tests empty-content completion behavior.
