Is your change request related to a problem? Please describe.

As we approach stability, I wanted to throw out a question of whether we should rename db.system to db.system.name in order to preserve the ability to use db.system as a namespace.

I don't see any need to include other db.system.* attributes on metrics / spans. But supposing semantic conventions expand to database servers (e.g. resource conventions to represent a database server), its possible we might want to include other attributes along the lines of db.system.version.

Describe the solution you'd like

Consider renaming db.system to db.system.name.
