This PR removes the non-compliant ChildOf and FollowsFrom interfaces
and the Relation type, which were inherited from OpenTracing via the
initial prototype. Instead allow adding a span context to the go
context as a remote span context and use a simple algorithm for
figuring out an actual parent of the new span, which was proposed for
the OpenTelemetry specification.
Also add a way to ignore current span and remote span context in go
context, so we can force the tracer to create a new root span - a span
with a new trace ID.
That required some moderate changes in the opentracing bridge - first
reference with ChildOfRef reference type becomes a local parent, the
rest become links. This also fixes links handling in the meantime. The
downside of the approach proposed here is that we can only set the
remote parent when creating a span through the opentracing API.

* api(trace): change trace id to byte array.
* fix lint errors
* add helper to create trace id from hex and improve stdout exporter.
* remove comma.
* fix lint
* change TraceIDFromHex to be compliant with w3 trace-context
* revert remove of hex16 regex because its used to parse SpanID
* lint
* fix typo
* setup sdk exporter package
* use sdk exporter package in sdk trace
* use sdk exporter package in all exporters
* empty the exporters list before testing Load
* move SpanData to the exporter package
* use the SpanProcessor registration, don't register exporters
* rename exporter structs to avoid stutter
* rename Syncer and Batcher to SpanSyncer and SpanBatcher
So it's explicit they are for spans, and we reduce the risk of name
conflict
* remove not moot todo
* rename sdk exporter to export
* only execute the SpanData if it is sampled
* rename finish -> end
* missed a few finish -> end spots
* change end back to finish for the bridge span in the openTracing bridge
* fixed grammar, ran make
