Run record | Dummy Run

The run record is the source of truth for everything else. The results board is built from run records. The telemetry exporter reads run records and maps them to traces, metrics and logs. The schema is schema/run-record.schema.json in the repository, with its $id at https://dummyrun.dev/schema/run-record/v1.json. The eight synthetic examples in examples/runs/ validate against it in CI, and examples/generate-runs.py writes more for dashboards that need history.
