Reorder columns in markdown tables: prioritize stability and req levels #2824

Description

@lmolkova

Discussed during SemConv call on 9/29:

Currently the order of columns is Attribute Name -> Type -> Brief -> Examples -> Req Level -> Stability. E.g.

Attribute Type Description Examples Requirement Level Stability
http.request.method string HTTP request method. [1] GET; POST; HEAD Required Stable

The end users, instrumentation authors and backends probably care more about req levels and stability more than other things.

What if we did something like

Attribute Requirement Level Type Description Examples
http.request.method
Stable Since 1.23.1
Sampling_relevant
Required string HTTP request method. [1] GET; POST; HEAD

(we can also have multiple badges or multi-part badges)
