test(e2e): Port nextjs-pages-dir to span streaming

Removes the `traceLifecycle: 'static'` pins and rewrites the specs onto streamed spans. Tests asserting on children of a segment span (async context isolation, middleware fetch) use `collectStreamedSpans` and accumulate until the segment span, which ends last.

`http.client` span names are low cardinality under streaming, so the middleware fetch span is named `GET localhost` rather than `GET http://localhost:3030/`. The URL is still asserted via `url.full`.

Request headers carry over as `http.request.header.*` span attributes, so the `x-yeet` and `User-Agent` assertions are kept in that form.

Dropped, having no span v2 equivalent:

- Transaction-side `tags` (isolation scope). The error-side assertions still cover it.
- The `contexts.runtime.name === 'vercel-edge'` matchers - the edge routes are uniquely named.
- The middleware `breadcrumbs` assertion. Breadcrumbs live on events, not spans; the fetch is still covered by the `http.client` child span assertion in the same test.
