dt-evals: an open source continuous evaluation tool for LLM apps in Dynatrace AI Observability

@kristofmuhi 

We open-sourced dt-evals, a CLI toolkit for evaluating LLM and agent quality using real GenAI traces in Dynatrace AI Observability. Run evaluations on live or recent gen_ai.* spans, score responses with an LLM judge, send results back to Dynatrace as business events, and use those scores for dashboards, alerts, drift detection, and CI/CD quality gates.
