Instrumentation: Actual User Input

[harrisonchu]

from jason:

I'm struggling to get a single field that represents the actual user I/O into a chain or chat. The input field is overloaded and is breaking things I'd like to do such as "AI search over user questions". When I go to do AI search over input, it goes over all span inputs, which include LLM span inputs, etc....

I'd like a instrumentation field called:
user_input

attributes.llm.user_input would get all the cases of users with actual IO into the system on that span.
