Pull request overview

This PR adds first-class support for Snapshot Reference settings in the Spring Cloud Azure App Configuration config module, including tracing/telemetry updates and tests to validate reference resolution and feature flag behavior when snapshots are involved.

Changes:

• Resolve snapshot reference settings by fetching the referenced snapshot and loading its settings as properties.
• Extend request correlation/tracing to include a new SnapshotRef feature tag.
• Update property source construction to pass a FeatureFlagClient, and add/adjust tests and changelog entry for the new behavior.
