Fixes #3847

Changes

As discussed in the semantic conventions SIG, this PR aims to clarify stability guarantees provided around well[-known attribute values (aka enums) defined by semantic conventions:

  • Changing an existing enum value is a breaking change.
  • Adding a new value to an enum is not a breaking change.
