AttritionOpenTelemetry semantic convention checker

When the sources disagree.

Attrition's Knowledge Base holds two kinds of source: the attribute registry, imported from every spec release, and the official migration guides. When a build finds them saying different things about the same name, Sanity raises a conflict with both claims side by side. Each one below was decided by a person, and the decision is now a standing instruction that every future build follows.

The HTTP migration guide claims http.resend_count migrates to http.request.resend_count, but the http.resend_count deprecation reference states it was dropped with no replacement and no deprecation entry.
Ground truth
The attribute http.resend_count migrates to http.request.resend_count in the HTTP semantic convention migration.
Entry: http/migration
Claim 2
The http.resend_count attribute was introduced in v1.21.0, defined through v1.22.0, and then removed from the spec in v1.23.0 with no deprecation entry and no replacement.

The Deprecated HTTP Span Attributes entry says http.resend_count was silently dropped and removed without formal deprecation, last seen in v1.22.0, while the HTTP Semconv Migration Guide lists it as a renamed attribute (http.resend_count → http.request.resend_count) with deprecation in v1.21.0.
Claim 1
The http.resend_count attribute was dropped from the spec without formal deprecation and has no replacement.
Entry: http/attributes/span_attrs

The body states the metrics were removed in v1.38.0-v1.40.0, but the sources show they were deprecated (not removed) during that period, with the verdict REMOVED status appearing in v1.44.0 semantic conventions specification.
Claim 1
Five RPC histogram metrics were removed in v1.38.0-v1.40.0 with no replacements.
Entry: rpc/attributes/deprecated_metrics
Ground truth
The RPC metrics rpc.server.requests_per_rpc, rpc.server.response.size, rpc.server.request.size, rpc.client.requests_per_rpc, and rpc.client.responses_per_rpc were deprecated in v1.38.0-v1.40.0 and marked as removed status as of v1.44.0.
