Changes:

• Bump semantic conventions generator input to v1.44.0 and add schema URL constant for 1.44.0.

• Update/normalize many Javadoc strings (capitalization, terminology, links).

semconv-incubating/src/main/java/io/opentelemetry/semconv/incubating/SystemIncubatingMetrics.java:1

• SYSTEM_PROCESS_LIMIT_UNIT is set to "{thread}", but the metric name/description indicate it measures a process/task limit, not threads. Update the unit to match the measured entity (e.g., a "{process}"-style unit or a dimensionless count per the semconv spec) to avoid misleading metric metadata.
  semconv-incubating/src/main/java/io/opentelemetry/semconv/incubating/ProcessIncubatingMetrics.java:1
• The unit for PROCESS_MEMORY_UTILIZATION is "1" (ratio), but the description calls it a "Percentage". Either adjust the description to describe a ratio/fraction, or change the unit to a percent-based unit if the value is intended to be 0–100. Keeping these consistent avoids confusion for metric consumers.

cc @lmolkova is this expected that we need to filter out duplicates now due to refinements? (we got duplicate constants for the hw.errors metric)

not expected, looking

update: sent a fix open-telemetry/weaver#1676 - I'll try to get weaver released in the next few days, but if you're in hurry go ahead with the workaround - it looks good
