SDKs currently use a mix of db and db.query for database spans, and the conventions don't say when to use which. db is the more widely used of the two, so this deprecates db.query and points it at db. The details of the operation belong in the db.* span attributes.

• db.query is marked deprecated, with db as its replacement.
• db.redis now points at db too, because a replacement can't itself be deprecated.
• db gets a short description, and the example on the ops docs page now uses db.

db.query stays in the name and description rules because older SDKs will keep sending it. Product queries that filter on span.category keep working, since the category comes from the first segment of the op. SDKs should switch in their next major version.
