Unnecessary GenAI agent span attributes #1924

What's missing?

We just had the GenAI agent Create Agentspan specs: https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions/blob/main/docs/gen-ai/gen-ai-agent-spans.md. Looking at the attributes defined, it feels like some of them aren't necessary.

For example, the gen_ai.response.xx and gen_ai.usage.xx attributes are not really related to creating an agent, but rather invoking an agent.

Describe the solution you'd like

Consider removing those attributes from the agent creation span.
