This adds a tracing-distributed-backed OpenTelemetry implementation. Specifically, this uses the http/protobuf protocol and at the moment only supports OTLP trace messages.

Compared to tracing-opentelemetry, this is a much lighter weight implementation as it does not pull in opentelemetry-sdk and aims to only support features present in tracing and tracing-distributed. At the same time, it is more convenient to use for distributed tracing in applications which do not necessarily transmit distributed trace information in headers.

The dependencies should still be compatible under SemVer.
Span ids are generated sequentially by default and therefore should be
randomized when used with OpenTelemetry. Otherwise traces may have
duplicate span ids when the same service is in use.
This avoids a possible memory leak if the given server cannot be
reached and spans accumulate over time.
