This change will instantiate an OpenTracing tracer and configure it as the global tracer when the GITLAB_TRACING environment variable is configured. GITLAB_TRACING takes a "connection string"-like value, encapsulating the driver (eg jaeger, etc) and options for the driver. Since each service, whether it's written in Ruby or Golang, uses the same connection-string, it should be very easy to configure all services in a cluster, or even a single development machine to be setup to use tracing. Note that this change does not include instrumentation or propagation changes as this is a way of breaking a previous larger change into components. The instrumentation and propagation changes will follow in separate changes.
