fix sfn x-datadog-tags input

[ojproductions]

What Does This Do

uses standard context propagator to build stepfunctions input rather than manually written json

x-datadog-tags input no longer encodes span tags but rather the expected _dd.p.* string. The previous value was getting dropped by the extension. This mirrors the values in the other aws integrations ( sns, eventbridge, etc)

Motivation

SLES-2981
x-datadog-tags is defined as a string, but it was being emitted as an object. This caused the extension's Step Functions deserializer to reject the whole _datadog payload.

Additional Notes

Consistent with the SNS and EventBridge instrumentations in this repo, and with how dd-trace-js and dd-trace-py build the same _datadog payload.

The configured propagator writes the required sampling priority and string-valued propagation tags without a reportable regression.
